Description
I'm trying to fix a problem detected by Buildroot's autobuilder, in which Chicken does not build for the xtensa architecture. Xtensa is not a supported architecture, but the patch to build there is very small and non-invasive. Please consider merging.
This bug was originally discovered under version 5.3.0, but I have tested this patch against 5.4.0 and it works.
a reference to the buildroot autobuild failure is here, for reference: http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/0428595153756ab37a7b8eb421b0d58c3b357b9b/
