Me too, but it depends on what the bootstrap compiler (the one in
/usr/local/bin) is.  With Chicken 2.41, I blow up as follows:

make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/chicken/autotools'
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. 
-DC_USE_C_DEFAULTS -DC_NO_PIC_NO_DLL   -DC_BUILDING_LIBCHICKEN -Os 
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wno-unused -Wno-uninitialized 
-DC_ENABLE_PTABLES -c -o libchicken_la-library.lo `test -f 'library.c' || echo 
'./'`library.c
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DC_USE_C_DEFAULTS -DC_NO_PIC_NO_DLL 
-DC_BUILDING_LIBCHICKEN -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall 
-Wno-unused -Wno-uninitialized -DC_ENABLE_PTABLES -c library.c  -DDLL_EXPORT 
-DPIC -o .libs/libchicken_la-library.o
library.c:16:27: chicken-paths.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [libchicken_la-library.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/chicken/autotools'
make: *** [all] Error 2

However, if I first install 2.41, then use it to bootstrap HEAD
using CMake, then install the CMake build, then use *that* to
bootstrap HEAD using autotools, *then* the Autotools build completes.

So we are in a defective state now, where the last stable Autotools
build (2.41) cannot bootstrap the current unstable Autotools build.

Felix, are you back from Whereverland yet?

Any luck with job and/or housing yet?
