The GPL restriction on linking with non-GPL code is irrelevant for a non-compiled language, when all we're distributing is the source code. I could find nothing in the GPL that contradicts this interpretation.
Even for mixed-license projects written in C, it's legal to distribute the source code, just not the compiled binaries.
I would say RMS would think otherwise. I guess http://clisp.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/clisp/clisp/doc/Why-CLISP-is-und... is quite similar.
