[Chicken-users] require-extension does not work in compiled code?

[Michele Simionato]

I am using Chicken 1.74 and I have found a surprising (for me) behavior of 
require-extension in compiled code. Consider the following two files:

$ cat mylib.scm
(require-extension regex)
(print  "string-match is there" string-match)

$ cat main.scm
(require-extension mylib) 

In the interpreter, nothing strange happens:

$ csi -script main.scm
string-match is there#<procedure>

However if I compile I get the following:

$ csc main; main
Error: unbound variable: regex

##sys#require

The same happens if I import srfi-1 or other extensions I tried.
Is this right? What should I do? The error message is rather
cryptic ...
