Thanks for preparing the rc, Peter.  Here are my results:

Operating system: Debian 11.0
Hardware platform: x86-64
C compilers: GCC 10.2.1, clang 11.0.1-2, TCC 0.9.27
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes

I used parallel make to build CHICKEN:

   $ make PREFIX=<directory> C_COMPILER=<compiler> -j4 all
   $ make PREFIX=<directory> C_COMPILER=<compiler> install check
   $ <directory>/bin/chicken-install pastiche

All the best.
Mario
