I've tried your patch but, unfortunately it doesn't work for me here
(dual-core, Linux x86).

For the commands below, consider that they are run from the chicken-core
directory and that I run

  $ export PLATFORM=linux

If I try

  $ git clean -f && make boot-chicken
  $ touch *.scm && make CHICKEN=./chicken-boot spotless all

everything goes well.  The build is finished without errors.

However, if add -j2, "make boot-chicken" is finished without errors, but
"make CHICKEN=./chicken-boot all" dies with:

./chicken-boot setup-api.import.scm -optimize-level 2 -include-path
. -include-path ./ -inline -ignore-repository -feature chicken-bootstrap
-no-warnings  -feature chicken-compile-shared -dynamic -no-trace
-output-file setup-api.import.c

ar: apply-hack.x86.o: No such file or directory

The error is reproducible.

I also tried building with fingers crossed, but that doesn't help.

Best wishes.
Mario
