Ok, let me describe what I am doing instead. I want to build a
cross-chicken for the host, so I follow the instructions at
http://api.call-cc.org/doc/chicken/cross-development and run the
make call like this (on a 64bit linux x86 machine):

make ARCH=\
     PREFIX=/usr\
     PLATFORM=linux\
     HOSTSYSTEM=mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc\
     DESTDIR=$HOME/src/nanonote/cross-chicken\
     TARGET_FEATURE="-no-feature x86 -feature mips"\
     libs install-dev

It builds fine, but the cross-chicken tree is broken:

cross-chicken
`-- usr
    |-- include
    |   `-- chicken
    |       |-- chicken-config.h
    |       `-- chicken.h
    |-- lib
    |   |-- chicken
    |   |   `-- 7
    |   |       `-- types.db
    |   |-- libchicken.a
    |   `-- libchicken.so -> libchicken.so.7
    `-- share
        `-- chicken

As you can see the libchicken.so.7 is missing. I don't know how
this worked in the past, the lines doing the install have been there
untouched since the import from svn...

Am I doing this The Right Way ("Is this side up?")?

Thanks,

Christian
