How much time are you willing to budget to this? Porting something to
bare metal is not a small task. It's probably only worth it if you're
doing it for academic purposes. I expect for anything real-world it'd
be faster to do whatever it is you want to do using something that
already runs on the bare metal. (e.g. http://armpit.sourceforge.net/
for Scheme).

There used to be Flux OSKit ( http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/ ) for
porting languages to bare metal, but it doesn't support ARM and it's
been dead a while. If you're really set on this, I'd try to see if
there's something similar out there, somewhere. 'cause writing an OS
from scratch would suck.
