Description

When STATICBUILD=1 is specified to make, Chicken fails to install, complaining about a missing setup-api.so; this is due to a portion of the makefile that tries to install some .so files even when the build is static. Attached is a patch to fix the issue (tested only on the Linux platform).

This is about CHICKEN 4, at this point I highly doubt we'll ever make a new release in that series.

Feel free to open a new ticket if you find this is still a problem with CHICKEN 5.
