Plus there is another angle on this. MesCC, the bootstrap C compiler in
Scheme, is not a intended to be used beyond bootstrapping. A C compiler
on top of Guile however, could be a very interesting project and could
easily target gcc; possibly attempt C++. I may just be dreaming...

Hmm, it's my understanding that Guile is pretty heavily tied to
libguile/*.c. What makes you think that it's possible for Guile to run
without libguile/*.c?
