In Lisp, "incremental compilation" refers to the ability to invoke the
compiler interactively (e.g. from the real-eval-print loop). Lisp's
compiler is actually part of the language (via the functions COMPILE
and COMPILE-FILE in Common Lisp), so one need not restart a running
Lisp image to compile & load new code into a program.
Examining the sources of Clisp, CMU CL, or GCL may give you a better
idea of how Lisp's compiler works. Basically, the compiler,
assembler, and dynamic linker are a part of the language's runtime
(although GCL calls out to the C compiler).
