Thanks, I've applied your patches. When running this (actually the
previous version), I get errors during the build that indicate that
cmake doesn't like hyphens ("-") in target names (applies to
chicken-profile and chicken-setup). Do you get the same errors?

Also, Bill hinted that multiple DEFINE_SYMBOL properties are not allowed,
when set in a single SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES (applies to the libraries).

BTW, with your cmake-built version, does

(require 'srfi-1)

(i.e. dynamic loading) work?

A README would be helpful. Thanks.
