It appears that it does, but you need to additionally pass "-z origin"
to the linker. For example deploying like this seems to work:

    csc -deploy -L "-z origin" <sources>

Actually, judging by the man pages [1-2] NetBSD and OpenBSD may
require the same trick. This needs to be tested though.

Here's the test:

    rm -rf /rmp/cd && mkdir -p /tmp/cd && cd /tmp/cd
    echo '(write 555)' | tee a.scm > b.scm
    csc -deploy a.scm
    ldd a/a
    csc -deploy -L "-z origin" b.scm
    ldd b/b

Can any of you folks on NetBSD, OpenBSD or any other OS try those
commands report the output here?

Here is mine output:
a/a:
        libchicken.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libchicken.so.6 (0x2808e000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x284dd000)
        libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x284f7000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2850c000)
b/b:
        libchicken.so.6 => /tmp/cd/b/libchicken.so.6 (0x2808e000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x284dd000)
        libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x284f7000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2850c000)

... which means that deployment doesn't work out of the box, but works
with "-z origin" added.
