The numbers egg also uses this in one of its rewrite rules, so the
problem could also be there.  However, this macro is supposed to be
present in chicken.h.

Perhaps you have new libraries but some older chicken.h is in the C
compiler's include path, preventing it from seeing C_fixnum_modulo
as a macro, therefore assuming it must be a C function?

If so, I'd expect to see C compiler warnings about assumptions of
the function's signature due to the missing prototype.  Did you get
those while installing numbers or srfi-19?

Cheers,
Peter
