I've looked a little at XomB. They've got a "bare bones" kernel 
setup as one of their sub-projects, and I took a glance at the 
runtime. It's a lot smaller than what I started trying to do, 
which was to copy the entire runtime and then prune it back until 
it compiled. I guess I'll do it the other way and copy/write as 
little as possible until it works. I was worried I'd have to 
process most of the runtime so the typeinfo classes would work, 
but it looks like XomB managed to get by with a pretty small 
runtime.
