You can easily avoid FFI and readline at configure time
(--without-libffcall, --without-libreadline or some such,
use --help to ascertain the spelling).

I doubt that you can avoid all of CLOS because it is used by the
condition system, but you can probably avoid much MOP.

You can try though ;-)

Basically, edit "src/init.lisp" and comment out any `load` you don't
like.

I doubt this is worth the effort though.
The parts you don't use don't cost you anything, CLISP bytecodes are
relatively light-weight, so you will not save anything on speed and very
little on space.

Good luck.

C combines the power of assembler with the portability of assembler.
