Seems obvious now you mention it!  Thanks, I also managed to build
successfully with these build options.  But,

Me too.

I have had the same bus error when building chicken on an old os x
machine without specifying ARCH=x86-64, which I think was defaulting to
a 32-bit build.  Perhaps 32-bit builds just don't play nicely on 64-bit
macs?  I don't suppose it's a common use-case.

Thanks for your input!  I guess I'll look into it a little further and
see if I can get anywhere with it.  What is a bus error?

Thanks,

Dani.
