What the hell do you mean?
If your C program uses libraries, either those libraries must have
equivalents built into the C->LISP translator, or their source must
be available and transformed first.
If you want to support C programs that use dynamic linking
of low-level C routines, then you may dynamically link LISP-translations
of those routines.
Again, the fallback case is to have a Linux emulator in Tunes.
And if you're warning me about C being able to do runtime type errors,
then yes, a correct non-trusting LISP translation will have to add runtime
typechecks. But since good C programming style encourages static typing,
most of these may be compiled away through type inference.
