[Chicken-hackers] compiling Chicken 4.7.0 with musl instead of glibc

[Jefferson Gafton]

In my quest for a statically compiled, lean and mean Chicken, I decided to try 
compiling Chicken 4.7.0 with musl instead of glibc. 
(http://www.etalabs.net/musl/faq.html)

While some of the compile went without complaint, there were a bunch of errors 
and warnings during the compilation of posixunix.c

After a discussion about this on #musl, it was suggested on #chicken that the 
#musl discussion be forwarded to this list, which I am doing now.  Please see 
the log here:

  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/545882/

It seems that Chicken might have some portability and POSIX compatibility 
issues that need to be addressed before it could be compiled with musl or other 
similar libraries like ulibc or dietlibc that are sometimes used instead of 
glibc.
