csi does support SRFI-22 via the -ss option - it's basically
the same as -s plus calling (main (command-line-arguments))
at the end.

For csc you can either use

  csc -postlogue '(main (command-line-arguments))' foo.scm

or add to the end of foo.scm:

  (cond-expand
    ((and chicken compiling) (main (command-line-arguments)))
    (else #f))

so that it supports SRFI-22 both interpreted and compiled
(untested).

Or you could just give up on SRFI-22 and use csi -s.
