Comment (by Kooda):

 I think that the patch to error out is right here, and that this method of
 adding a C file to the custom-build script is wrong.

 It only happens to work when building a shared object, but doesn’t work
 when building a static object (csc is not making an archive file) or when
 cross-compiling, as Kristian originally reported.

 The two proper methods of linking a C library to a Scheme library are:
 `#include <the_c_file>` inside a `foreign-declare` for example, or using
 the `c-object` component to build the C library and `objects` component
 property to link that C library to the Scheme one.

 The first method always works, the second requires CHICKEN 5.1.0 or later.
