What GPL code do you mean?

In any case, if you create a GPL payload out of
libpayload+dietlibc+tinyscheme then that is an interpreter, and any
code you execute using that interpreter can have a different license
since they are not, in fact, linked together.

That would be great. libpayload has already reused code from other
BSD-licensed projects, in particular HelenOS IIRC, so possibly you
can find another source of some of the code at least.
