I've checked the manual for "~~", and there are more uses to it than just syntax-case and lib.
I forgot to mention: Gambit is not currently installing a .a file if it is being configured with --enable-shared.
(The .a file would also be in a ~~ location.)
Currently the way to get a .so for dynamic linking on the local system and to also get a .a file for static linking for creating static executables is to install Gambit twice; just something to keep in mind, if you want to provide a gambc-dev package including a .a file then this may need a change too.
