This has been done with lcc, perhaps by Todd Proebsting, who wrote a
paper about optimizing the bytecode interpreter:


      Proebsting, Todd A. 1995 (January). Optimizing an ANSI C
      interpreter with superoperators. In Conference Record of the 22nd
      Annual ACM Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages, pages
      322--332, San Francisco, California.
