the above is fine

but this can't work, because you pass the chicken libraries to the 
linker before the program -- I do not really know why this messes up the 
linking process, but it's not a problem with chicken but rather with 
GNU's ld. I've encountered the same problem with C programs I wrote. 
Simply replace the above command with
        $ gcc a.o `chicken-config -static -libs`

and it should work. But I would suggest building the program like this 
anyway:
        $ csc -static a.scm

which does all the work for you.
