Hello,

if your linker supports that, it may also be possible to recombine 
multiple objects into a single relocatable output. With GNU ld you could 
do

  ld --relocatable \
  sources/foreign-interfaces/fastcgi.o \
  sources/foreign-interfaces/sqlite.o \
  -o foreign-interfaces.o

However, the CHICKEN compiler driver only directly supports linking things 
together into dynamic libraries or executables.

Ciao,
Thomas
