Description Alec Meyers 2011-12-07 23:21:45 UTC 
Chicken installs /usr/lib/libchickenchicken-4.7.3.tar.gz

$ equery f chicken | grep tar.gz
/usr/lib64/libchickenchicken-4.7.3.tar.gz

$ file /usr/lib/libchickenchicken-4.7.3.tar.gz
/usr/lib64/libchickenchicken-4.7.3.tar.gz: current ar archive

Portage uses ${A} for the source archive, and chicken's makefile (rules.make) references the variable, which results in make substituting $(A) for the source archive name.

Reproducible: Always

Hmm, does it help to put an `unset A' in src_compile() / src_install() and so on? It's only used in src_unpack() I should think.
Comment 2 erik falor 2011-12-10 05:55:37 UTC 
I've sent a new chicken-4.7.3.ebuild to maksbotan@gentoo.org.

I added a line in src_prepare() that calls sed and hacks the ${A}
variable out of all of the makefiles.

There was already a similar hack in there to fix the collision between
ebuild's ARCH variable, so I simply borrowed that technique.

Fixed in 4.7.3-r1, thanks to Erik.
