Pretty good in the medium and long term, but I don't know when. At this time, PLT v37x is the only supported alternative to Larceny itself for building Larceny. We do not support PLT v4 for that purpose; indeed, PLT v4 introduced so many compatibility problems that I doubt whether we will ever use PLT v4 to build Larceny. That means we need to look for an alternative. Gambit-C is a likely choice. The new release of Chicken sounds as though it may be more R5RS-conforming, which might make it a contender. We'll be looking at those and several others, but will probably support only one.
