 chicken 4.8.0 raises a bus error when built in 32-bit mode on 64-bit Macs.

 Working with pinkiesOut on #chicken we found it does the same thing for
 32-bit Macs, such as Core Duo.

 However, we verified 4.7.0.6 works fine in 32-bit mode on either 32 or 64
 bit Macs.  Therefore, something happened between 4.7.0.6 and 4.8.0.

 (On a 64-bit Mac, you can build in 32-bit mode with the following.  32-bit
 macs don't need this:)

 {{{
 make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=x86 C_COMPILER_OPTIONS="-no-cpp-precomp -fno-
 strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fno-common -DHAVE_CHICKEN_CONFIG_H -m32"
 ASSEMBLER_OPTIONS="-m32" LINKER_OPTIONS="-m32"
 }}}

 Proposal: bisect the versions and figure out where things went wrong.
