For what I see, it is not really trying

  ARCH ?= x86

only expecting to receive it.

I was just suggesting the usage of a "standard" config systems:
Automake, cmake...

This should simplify the porting to systems not available yet
to upstream maintainers with the plus of more easy build in a
separate tree than source one.

Of course is it just my 2c$ suggestion.

Attached a better chicken.cygport that allow the
build on separate tree, identify the architecture
correctly install and package.

This also avoid the creation of not needed
chicken-4.9.0.1-1.src.patch

You still need to verify the check portion,
it seems that the test in place is not fully working
but I could be wrong.

About x86_64 there is still a starting problem

the line 32 is:
