I think, a better approach would be some sort of "runtime system/VM
generator" which would take some sort of high-level description of a
VM/runtime system and spit out ugly C code, which may for example take
advantage of different architecture/OS features.


Ideally, the input to the runtime system/VM generator would be
something very close to an operational semantics for the bytecode,
which could act also as a formal specification of the semantics of the
language itself.
