 Priority:  major                                       |   Milestone:  4.9.0
Component:  build system                                |     Version:  4.7.x
 Keywords:  PROGRAM_PREFIX, PROGRAM_SUFFIX, libchicken  |  
--------------------------------------------------------+-------------------
 In non-cross chickens, csc will attempt to use the name {{{libchicken}}},
 even if {{{PROGRAM_PREFIX}}} or {{{PROGRAM_SUFFIX}}} was set.  This is
 because:

 {{{
 (define default-shared-library-files
   (list (string-append "-l" (if host-mode INSTALL_LIB_NAME
 TARGET_LIB_NAME))))
 }}}

 in csc.scm.  defaults.make sets the variables in question like

 {{{
 INSTALL_LIB_NAME = $(PROGRAM_PREFIX)chicken$(PROGRAM_SUFFIX)
 }}}

 {{{
 TARGET_LIB_NAME ?= chicken
 }}}
