It works on OpenWRT (and likely on LibreCMC also)!
 
Operating system: OpenWRT 19.07.1
Hardware platform: TP-Link Archer c7 (wireless router, MIPS architecture)
C Compiler: gcc 7.5.0, with musl
Installation works?: handcrafted installation after cross-compiling
Tests work?: did not try
Installation of eggs works?: yes

I have made two packages:

* chicken-scheme-interpreter, containing only csi, and with all binaries
  stripped
* chicken-scheme-full, with everything except the static library. In
  this version, the binaries are not stripped (otherwise csc won't
  work -- ld cannot link libchicken with the compiled object file).

csc, chicken-install and chicken-status seem to work!

It may take a long time for eggs to compile on small devices, and
several eggs will just not fit, but so long it seems to work fine.
