Operating System: Android 6.0.1 "Marshmallow"
Hardware Platform: arm64 aka aarch64
C-Compiler: gcc 5.3.0
Installation works: yes
Tests work: no (but see below)
Installation of eggs works: yes
Note: Some tests fail because the linker emits error messages like:

WARNING: linker: ../csi: unused DT entry: type 0xf arg 0x51e
WARNING: linker: 
/data/data/com.termux/files/home/chickens/4.11.0rc1/lib/chicken/8/posix.import.so:
 unused DT entry: type 0xf arg 0x1eb

The generated executables work though, but generate a similar warning message.

Otherwise the compiler seems to work for me.

Best Regards,
