Not quite.  It died with an error:

  libchicken.so.6: No such file or directory (needed by rev-app/rev-app)

So I tried running the make check again, but with my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable 
set to where I'd installed Chicken:  /usr/local/chicken-musl/lib with no better 
luck.  The log of this second attempt can be seen here:

  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/546673/

One thing I was not sure about was which options to pass to the "make check", 
so I just used the ones I compiled with:

  time make C_COMPILER=musl-gcc PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=/usr/local/chicken-musl 
CHICKEN=./chicken-boot check

Which seems ok, but I wonder about the CHICKEN=./chicken-boot

Is that the right invocation?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
