Your situation sounds promising. This should be possible

The next question is whether there's any problem linking non-carbon 
libraries with Carbon apps, and I'm pretty sure the answer is no.  I 
would strongly suggest using the libraries as built by the included 
build scripts (make + gcc).  In particular, I would follow the 
instructions in the Inside PLT MzScheme manual for UNIX platforms; once 
you've compiled libmzscheme.a and libgc.a, you can specify them as 
libraries to be linked into your codewarrior project.

In the long term, this two-compiler build process would be unpleasant, 
but if you got something working with the setup, you could try moving 
to an all-codewarrior build.
