I've worked at it some more, as you can see in the pull request.

I understand you're busy. If you have time, please tell me at least
whether I'm on the right track, or if I'm wasting my time on something
you're never going to merge.

In the mean time, I've got a proof of concept of making static linking
work not just on sbcl, but also on clisp
(though sbcl requires a patch that isn't upstream yet, and the clisp
support is not expected to be portable as is).

Dear CFFI developers,

do you think c-toolchain and static-link belong in CFFI, or in ASDF
(or in a new system to be spawned)?

If you believe they belong in ASDF, I could try to move them there ?
but that means CFFI-grovel will have a dependency on a recent ASDF (or
on that new system).

cffi-grovel is a good home for this new functionality, as it nicely complements
the groveller's functionality for building helper libraries. Perhaps a separate
system (even if it's included in the CFFI repo) would make sense too since
the two functionalities are orthogonal, AFAICT.

I don't fully see the repercussions of extracting c-toolchain and
static-link out off cffi-grovel. If it's easy and you think it's a
good idea, then please go ahead. In any case, as I mentioned in the
pull request, I think User Manual documentation and tests have higher
priority at this point.

Cheers,
