I get the impression that you were referring to the part where I talked about the "object description" for the runtime system. Compilation is of no help here. It's already all happening in C code. Maybe rewriting in a language with a bit more introspection might make an "object description" more-or-less readily available (maybe the Remacs work might qualify), but we'd still need to connect that with a GC and with pdump etc...
