$ /home/mario/local/master/bin/chicken-install.exe [panic] nursery is too small - try higher setting using the `-:s' option - execution terminated
I could reproduce this behavior with chicken from both master and make-refactoring branches.

This is very strange: I got the same error and was unable to figure out what's wrong. After rebuilding with a new chicken (I built from the 4.5.0 tarball and then rebuilt chickan again - the compiler seems to work, only chicken-install doesn't) the problem went away. That is, I assume it is somehow related to the rebuild.
Somehow the load-library call (which does a dlopen(3)) failed when chicken-install tried to load the core library chicken-ffi-syntax. I can not say why it failed.
I pushed a few changes (master). Can you try again? Can you also try to just build/install and then rebuild with the installed chicken executable (touch *.scm first). Perhaps there is an incompatibility with code produced by older chickens.

Indeed. Building it with 4.6.0rc1 makes chicken-install work. I could install and (use) amb as a test.

I close this now. If you think this should be kept open for closer scrutiny, then please reopen. Apparently there is some symbol-resolution problem, caused by old .c files in the distribution (or .c files generated by an old chicken).
Setting a higher value for
-:s(like-:s1000000) doesn't help, BTW.
