Subject: bug#22366: Status? Chicken Scheme release tarballs ship non-source C code

Dear David,

The bug report [1] opened more than 4 years ago about the Chicken
bootstrapping is still pending.

I am not sure to understand these lines; quoting you [1]:

<<
    Generated from optimizer.scm by the CHICKEN compiler

This is *not* source code, it's a binary disguised as C source code.
>>

Why is it an issue for bootstrappability?


Thank you in advance for any comments.
Or could this bug report be closed?

All the best,
simon
