Comment (by sjamaan):

 I tried to reproduce what you said you did to the files, but I keep
 getting the same error message.

 However, it worked if I simply moved the import files to the end (even
 with the orignal versions of {{{coops.scm}}} and {{{coops-module.scm}}}),
 so they're compiled after all the other files. That's because the
 {{{(import foo)}}} statements will then fall back to simply loading the
 source files instead.  This may be a good "solution" for coops and similar
 eggs (perhaps 90% of our eggs, in fact), but it won't work in the general
 case:

 If you have an egg consisting of two modules, let's say module A and B,
 where A depends on B at compile-time (perhaps B offers some important
 macros), it must be able to load it. If module B contains FFI calls, it
 '''must''' be compiled.

 Of course this is a pretty contrived example: most eggs are not this
 complicated.  So I guess this "bug" should be considered to be in coops
 after all.
