There's no official way of doing this. There have been many attempts though. But since this opens the door to "binary distribution of source code", there has never been an enormous movement in getting this working. Ilya might have it working under OS/2 though.

But nowadays, there are hooks that can be called after compilation, and you can access the bytecode, so it might be possible, although there may be dragons to be slayed before having a stable way of doing so.

So, yes, it may be possible, but there's no off-the-shelf solution that I am aware of.
