I have been working on a library for ClojureCLR that actually uses a Clojure DSL to generate, compile, and load C code live into a running REPL. It's called c-in-clj (see https://github.com/aaronc/c-in-clj). It works quite well for me so far, but is still in what I would call Alpha stage. Eventually, this code may be used to compile Clojure code to a native binary via a C compiler.
You can also use this little library that I have for ClojureCLR to do painless native function calls via the CLR's P/Invoke mechanism: https://github.com/aaronc/ClojureClrEx.
