For instance, the LGPL requires everything to be dynamic linked, which makes distribution of a single file executable built by chicken more difficult, or impossible license wise. Perhaps more importantly, Using GMP will prevent using chicken in embedded/proprietary environments where NDAs prevent people without licenses from writting for the platform (LGPL 3 has an anti-tivoization clause afaik) or where the NDA prevents releasing of any required modifications for the platform.
