Please build chicken master from the latest development
snapshot. Currently the next release candidate resembles master (as
the time of this writing) and includes the bootstrap C files, so you
can build it without chicken.

In general you will need to have the lasted dev snapshot installed and
then build a boot-chicken.

The canonical way is:

make PLATFORM=linux boot-chicken
make PLATFORM=linux CHICKEN=./chicken-boot # <- your new boot chicken
make PLATFORM=linux install

Please let us know whether you need more help getting master to run.

Kind regards,

Christian
