No, it's been done.


There are a small number of C compilers for Microchips's PIC
microcontrollers. Many PIC chips have <= 256 bytes of internal RAM,
and most PICs have no access to external RAM.
      Of course, the compiled programs are the kinds that don't require a
lot of variable space. (And, on the PICs, don't require a deep call
stack.)
      C compilers exist for other microcontrollers, as well.
