You can use the compiler without any libraries.
See (help 'compile), (help 'compile-file) and (help 'load).

Here is a quotation from KCL Report:

  The KCL compiler translates a Lisp program stored in a source file into a
  C-language program, invokes the C-language compiler to compile the
  C-language program, and then generates an object file, called fasl file (or
  o-file because of the actual filetype).  The compiled program in a fasl
  file is loaded by the function load.
