Perhaps I should clarify a bit: "csi" is the chicken interpreter and
will be built by the makefile. Since most library modules are written
in Scheme any changes to the Scheme files require a working Chicken
system to generate the .c files from those. In this case the interpreter
is used to bootstrap the macroexpanded psyntax module. I'm not sure,
but it seems the timestamps are not correct here, so the makefile
wants to rebuild some of the modules using the tools (chicken/csi)
which haven't been built yet.

You can also remove the last two rules from makefile.vc, should
editing syntax-case.c not work.
