Unfortunately we've found some issues while giving it a try some hours ago (we had some discussions on IRC): * chicken.foreign leaks into .link files. This can be fixed with [0], by Felix. I suppose Felix is going to submit a patch to chicken-hackers. * chicken.csi leaks into .link files. This issue is actually present in the current stable release (5.2.0), but nobody had noticed it.

[ANN] CHICKEN 5.3.0 release candidate 4 available
Hello all, The fourth release candidate for CHICKEN 5.3.0 is now available for download: https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2021/10/06/chicken-5.3.0rc4.tar.gz The sha256sum of that tarball is: ba8da800e708c423c0e6e812fa2a93b947c731e52d115988b0c0f84406040e14 The list of changes since 5.2.0 and 5.3.0rc4 is available here: https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2021/10/06/NEWS This release candidate fixes a regression that happened somewhere between 5.2.0 and 5.3.0 which meant static linking was broken for programs that used certain builtin modules (#1788). It also introduces a safety check in the setters for current-user-id, current-effective-user-id and current-group-id to ensure that only fixnums are passed in (#1787). Please give this new release candidate a try and report your findings to the mailing list.
