I CAN'T make statically linked C programs on OS X using the compiler  
supplied with Xcode 2.mumble. It's missing a static crt0.o (There is  
a crt1.o in /usr/lib. I've never bothered fighting to get gcc to use  
that instead.)

I don't care about static linking. What would be nice is an OS X  
framework for the chicken runtime. It'd be a lot easier to distribute  
to people who want to run a program written in chicken without having  
to install the full thing (Compiler, interpreter, runtime libraries,  
etc.). Universal binary support to go along with that would be nice  
too. The latter is easy to do. (Add '-arch i386 -arch ppc' to the  
cflags used by the chicken compiler, and I /think/ everything will  
work automagically. I'll test that.)
