What would be the thing to look into if I wanted to dynamically generate assembly? I.e., I'd want to do something like (compile nil (construct-some-special-lambda-form)), but which included dynamically generated stuff you'd typically stuff into a VOP?

I'll have to read that article again. Do I get "for free" all of the register selection and the like?

stylewarning: i'd consider a hack for a more dynamic VOP. stuff the codegen template in the info slot or smth

stylewarning: is there some particular use case you're missing? a dynamically generated vop sounds pretty gnarly

at some point ppc64 could start up 'cold-sbcl.core' and get a REPL prompt. Getting it to finish building is within reach, but I had to reprioritize my efforts away from that.
