I checked out source code and did:

% ./configure --prefix build --chicken /opt/homebrew/bin/chicken
--debugbuild
detecting platform ... macosx
installation prefix: build
bootstrap chicken: /opt/homebrew/bin/chicken
testing C compiler (gcc) ... works

now run make to build the system

% make
/opt/homebrew/bin/chicken  library.scm -optimize-level 2 -include-path .
-include-path ./ -inline -ignore-repository -feature chicken-bootstrap
-feature debugbuild -verbose -specialize -consult-types-file ./types.db
 -explicit-use -no-trace -output-file library.c \
-no-module-registration \
-emit-import-library chicken.bitwise \
-emit-import-library chicken.bytevector \
-emit-import-library chicken.fixnum \
-emit-import-library chicken.flonum \
-emit-import-library chicken.gc \
-emit-import-library chicken.keyword \
-emit-import-library chicken.platform \
-emit-import-library chicken.plist \
-emit-import-library chicken.io \
-emit-import-library chicken.process-context

Error: (line 5248) invalid `#!' token: "bwp"
make: *** [library.c] Error 70


Not sure what I am doing wrong, haven't built chicken in a while I confess.
