Many thanks, Lassi.  I've pushed your patch.

I noticed that files produced by tests are not ignored (also .{exe,dll}
on Windows).  Not sure if that's intentional or not.  Anyway, we can
always ignore them later, if desired.

Too bad your patch missed the 10-year anniversary of
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/chicken-hackers/2012-10/msg00048.html :-)

All the best.
Mario
