Well, you dont have to interpre part syou've allready compiled, jsut the bits that are different. Given they way you would design this in an Free Software system (ie. the source code is really there, not some VM type stuff) it shouldn't be too hard to make conventional-ish .so's that are blockless, its just that they will be slow. - Steve
