Thanks a lot, Felix.  It seems to work fine, so I pushed your patch.

I've got a preliminary C5 port of salmonella working.  It's here:
https://github.com/mario-goulart/salmonella/tree/chicken-5

Not all programs shipped by salmonella have been ported (only salmonella
and salmonella-log-viewer [*]), but salmonella is able to test itself,
at least.  I've tried it with awful-static-pages (added to
chicken-5-eggs repo), whose tests call a binary installed by its own egg
and it seems to work as well.

[*] to properly install salmonella-log-viewer, you need the patch in
    http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/chicken-hackers/2017-06/msg00078.html
    , otherwise it gets installed as #f.

All the best.
Mario
