Re: [Chicken-hackers] Re: [Chicken-users] Build on cygwin problem

[Elf]

imho, make bootstrap is broken (even though it 'works').  bootstrapping
traditionally means that one can build the system entirely from scratch,
regardless of the presence or lack thereof of any other versions of the 
software.  this is clearly not whats going on.  an existing install on
the same prefix gets added in.  existing libs, export files, and includes
show up in very strange places.

HOWEVER:
has anyone tried doing a make bootstrap install and seeing what happens?
(i havent yet, but if my guesses are correct, that should be either a correct
bootstrapping or at least significantly closer.)
