I was under the impression that that code had bit-rotted long ago.
At any rate, none of the currently supported platforms is using it:
they all have apply-hack.S files.

Right, though that depends on the target platform being an existing
Chicken platform.  Since the cross-compiler has "linux" in its name, it's
presumably a Linux.  But if it's not, then a full bootstrap will be
required (that is, writing a Makefile.* for the job), since the defines
in Makefile.linux would then be wrong.
