When I was trying to use (file-type ...) in a compiled module, it was a
big surprise when csc instantly ground to a halt, issuing an error
saying "file-type" was an unknown identifier. (And no, I didn't forgot to
put (import posix) in the module.)
It was especially puzzling since (file-type ) worked just fine in csi.
Checking "posix.import.scm" sure enough showed "file-type" was not among
the exported identifiers. Adding it to the list of exports, recompiling and
reinstalling Chicken was the solution.
Here's the whole change:

Actually, I was grateful this was pretty simple to rectify, as it allowed
me to quickly return to my usual pursuit of obscure bugs of my own making.
Thanks,
Jules Altfas.
