Hmm, yes then it can work.

I would compile only to C at the first phase as you say as it should not be
of too high
complexity to output the C part and be pretty swift although you are
interpreting. Then the VM can compile all guile including code to emit and
compile assembler and then one can add the possibility to compile to native
code by some kind of just in time mechanism. Cool!

I will try to start investigating this approach.
