felix, are you sure most eggs can be statically linked?
I assume it means chicken-install produces *.o files, correct?

I have the following so installed (I think I'm using all of them),
and only 3 have objects: numbers-static.o openssl-static.o sendfile-static.o.

abnf-charlist.so abnf-consumers.so abnf.so base64.so cgi-handler.so 
condition-utils.so datatype.so defstruct.so environments.so hash-let.so 
http-client.so iconv.so input-classes.so input-parse.so intarweb.so 
internet-message.so iset.so json.so lexgen.so locale-builtin.so 
locale-categories.so locale-components.so locale-current.so locale-posix.so 
locale-timezone.so locale.so lookup-table-synch.so lookup-table-unsafe-synch.so 
lookup-table-unsafe.so lookup-table.so mailbox.so matchable.so md5.so 
message-digest-port.so message-digest.so mime.so miscmacros.so moremacros.so 
numbers.so numeric-macros.so openssl.so packrat.so record-variants.so 
sendfile.so setup-api.so setup-download.so simple-directory-handler.so smtp.so 
spiffy-cookies.so spiffy.so srfi-29.so srfi-4-checks.so srfi-4-errors.so 
ssax.so ssp-handler.so sxml-transforms.so sxpath-lolevel.so sxpath.so synch.so 
txpath.so type-checks.so type-errors.so typeclass.so unicode-char-sets.so 
uri-common.so uri-generic.so utf8-case-map.so utf8-lolevel.so utf8-srfi-13.so 
utf8-srfi-14.so utf8.so variable-item.so web-scheme-handler.so

I wish I could link them statically.

Best,
Daishi
