Thanks for the pointer, it made me realize that chicken-install is trying to
fetch a package, which it shouldn't do in nix. Turns out that egg2nix doesn't
extract the llrb-syntax dependency that is required to build llrb-tree. Making
llrb-syntax a dependency in nix fixes the issue. Thanks! Thanks to everyone
who's worked on chicken, I really enjoyed working with it!
