Did you test having another version of chicken installed system-wide?
If so, without '-z origin' csc will link the resulting binary with
system libchicken.so, thus making it seem like everything worked. If
however you'll deinstall chicken, or move the deployed binaries to a
machine where no chicken is installed (which is the point of -deploy),
it'll fail to find system libchicken, and will refuse to start.

(Run 'ldd' on a deployed binary; if it's linked with libchicken from
/usr/local/lib, then there's a problem).
