Cross-compilation can be a bit tricky.  Have you checked the
instructions in http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/5/Cross%20development ?

Alternatively, is there an emulator of the target platform that you
could use to compile CHICKEN natively and then produce the statically
linked binaries?

All the best.
