I'm working in directory

/home/marijn/cvs/gentoo-x86/dev-scheme/chicken

My build script unpacks the source to

/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/chicken-2.731/work/chicken-2.731/

and runs

make PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=/usr C_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_OPTIONS="$CFLAGS"

after which it quickly fails with the above error.
