You are trying to link statically a program that uses the (chicken csi)
module, but there is no such object file for static linking available
(chicken.csi lives in "csi" the interpreter and is not part of libchicken
or the set of statically linkable extensions).

You have to create a shared object and load it into csi to be able to
use exports from the chicken.csi module.
