Well, a couple of months ago, Pascal Bourguignon wrote:

   I'm writing a C parser in CL, so that I may read the C sources 
   of CL, and then translate them into maintainable CL.  Then I 
   will be able to compile a CL GNU emacs core, that would be 
   100% bug-for-bug compatible with GNU emacs, and on which you 
   could run all the .el (and even .elc) you'd want.
