I get the same error trying to install the numbers egg as well.  I 
changed the behavior of csc.  Instead of passing -D flags for all sorts 
of stuff, it passes the vast majority of stuff through chicken.h, with 
all the needed variables actually being in chicken-config.h, 
chicken-paths.h, and stack-size.h.  I suspect that eggs have been 
written without an expectation of needing to have chicken.h somewhere 
useful.  I'll look into what should be done this evening.  Right now, 
the Cygwin Bash shell is pissing me off because it won't allow me to 
have a buffer size large enough to see the errors.  There may not be any 
setting to change this either; what a loser shell!  Well, back to stderr 
redirection hackery.  Rah rah Unix.
