Thanks for the new rc, Peter.
Unfortunately we've found some issues while giving it a try some hours
ago (we had some discussions on IRC):
* chicken.foreign leaks into .link files. This can be fixed with [0],
by Felix. I suppose Felix is going to submit a patch to
chicken-hackers.
* chicken.csi leaks into .link files. This issue is actually present in
the current stable release (5.2.0), but nobody had noticed it.
