It's possible if all of the eggs you need to use provide suitable object
files for static compilation, but this is not currently supported in any
meaningful way by the toolchain and it's unlikely to be possible for all
of those 40 files you're trying to use.
The sysexits egg is a very simple example of an extension that provides
an object file for static linking:
$ cat foo.scm
(import sysexits)
(exit exit/ok)
$ chicken-status -f sysexits
/usr/local/lib/chicken/7/sysexits.import.so
/usr/local/lib/chicken/7/sysexits.o
/usr/local/lib/chicken/7/sysexits.so
$ csc -static -uses sysexits foo.scm /usr/local/lib/chicken/7/sysexits.o
$ ./foo
However, this practice is not widespread.
