I'm not familiar with using Gambit under Windows, but the easiest way to 
deal with compiled code with Gambit is to use dynamic libraries.  For 
example:

% gsc -dynamic foo.scm
... generates foo.o1
% gsi foo
... runs the compiled foo module


Using gcc, to generate a standalone executable you do something like:

% gsc foo.scm
... generates foo.c and foo_.c
% gcc -o foo foo.c foo_.c -lgambc -lm -ldl -lutil
... generates the foo executable
% ./foo
... runs foo


Hope that helps,

Guillaume
