70 is just the standard error return code (EX_SOFTWARE in
sysexits.h).

Thw actual problem appears to be that you are compiling
SLIBs version of the fluid-let macro in "high-level macro"
mode (with syntax-rules/syntax-case macros enabled).
You don't really need that, since Chicken already supports
fluid-let, though.
I can't tell you exactly what happens here, probably the
definition of the macro does something fishy.
Could you show me the actual source-code?
