Compiling a shared library would be the least of the problems you'd
have.

I don't know whether ccl needs to map the image at a fixed address
(perhaps the address where it was saved from?); you would have to
determine that, and deal with it.

But the biggest problems would come (as with any other CL
implementation, or actually, as when trying to merge any two
runtime-like libraries whatever they are), from the handling of signals
and threads.
