I've built CHICKEN 4.9.0rc1 on my Raspberry Pi.

Operating system: Slackwarearm-14.1 (Linux 3.10.27-arm)
Hardware platform: armv6l
C Compiler: GCC 4.8.2
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: no
Installation of eggs works?: yes

Building eggs (or anything) is very slow going on the Pi, so I haven't
tested as many as I'd like. But after some hours of compiling, each of
the eggs I've tried so far have worked. See the attachment if you
care which ones those are.

Earlier today I had run `make check` and received a message about a
CHICKEN process running out of memory. I closed that terminal before
thinking to copy the output. Then again, I have one of the 1st
generation Pi's with <256 MB of RAM; perhaps other users won't run
into that same problem.

Another attempt to run `make check` failed with GCC crashing on one of
the runtime tests. Perhaps GCC is also running out of memory:

If this segfaults on x86-64, try updating GCC (4.5 has a code-generation bug):
