Comment (by evhan):

 The location of these files can be controlled by `CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX`.
 This is what the Nix helpers in the
 [https://git.sr.ht/~evhan/beaker/tree/ca9604fc/item/default.nix#L42-43
 beaker egg] use, for example, to make sure these files end up in the build
 directory.

 Interestingly this isn't documented so it might not be intended for end
 users to change, I'm not sure. But either way files like these go in a
 different location than the ones that get stuffed into the egg repository
 (the thing controlled by `CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY`).
