I see.

So, in the case of compiling two files, one having (declare (uses x))
and the other (declare (unit x)) and compiling with two separate
commands (as in the manual), how does Chicken share the knoweldge about
what functions to call in unit x?

like:

csc -c foo.scm
csc -c bar.scm
csc bar.o scm.o -o a.out 

How does the user of x know the name of the function in unix to invoke to
the linker gets it right?

Thank you.
