--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 i'm trying to compile chicken on debian testing.
 i found a small bug that happens with a "make PLATFORM=linux
 PREFIX=/opt install":

 gcc  -L. chicken-profile.o -o chicken-profile \
          -lchicken -Wl,-R"." -lm -ldl
 gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DHAVE_CHICKEN_CONFIG_H -DC_ENABLE_PTABLES
 -I. -I./ -fPIC -DPIC \
          -c -Os -fomit-frame-pointer csc.c -o csc.o
 gcc  -L. csc.o -o csc -lchicken -Wl,-R"." -lm -ldl
 chicken setup-api.scm -optimize-level 2 -include-path . -include-path
 ./ -inline -ignore-repository -no-warnings  -feature chicken-compile-
 shared -dynamic -emit-import-library setup-api \
          -output-file setup-api.c
 make[1]: chicken: Command not found
 make[1]: *** [setup-api.c] Error 127
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/david/src/chicken-4.6.0'
 make: *** [install] Error 2


 in rules.make on line 917 it's calling $(CHICKEN) and there it says
 "chicken" isn't found.

 if i set the PATH to include the current directory it works.
 export PATH=$PATH:.
