There is however a real difference in terms of performance, guile is simply 
faster

Technically, it could be built from a lisp compiler

Rain1 is working on that

Actually we only need a core subset of coreutils that mescc can compile, which 
ironically is a small job should one use openbsd's core as a base

Essentially build from the stage0-seed to mescc, build the essentials only, 
then simply add pieces as we need them.

No need to make this any more complex than it already is.
