         If you build CHICKEN directly from the development sources out

+Sometimes an extension will only be compilable for the target platform
+(for example libraries that use system-dependent features). In this
+case you will have to work around the problem that the host-compiler
+still may need compile-time information from the target-only
+extension, like the import library of modules. One option is to copy
