I'd hope most of the compiler could run from program flash rather than
ram, on systems where those are separate.  Example: I have a couple of
the TI Stellaris Launchpad (ARM Cortex M4) boards from their promotion
last year.  The cpu has 256k of program flash and 32K of RAM, which
seems squarely in Forth's comfort zone, so I'd been thinking of porting
an interpreter.  It hadn't occurred to me before, but maybe one of those
fancy compilers could actually fit in there.
