Yes, exactly.

Thank you very much. It works fine. I was confused why chicken-static
depends on system libraries when -static option is given to gcc. As far
as I understand in original Makefile chicken-static is assembled
from libchicken.la, libstuffed-chicken.la and libsrfi-chicken.la. That's
the only difference I've found between the command you've suggested and 
the command from the original Makefile.
