It can. More accurately, we could implement a back-end to the unexec
process that generates C source file. That was Paul's suggestion.
I consider this option less desirable for several reasons:
. writing and maintaining such a C back-end would be non-trivial,
and would require good control of portable C programming,
something that most of our contributors lack
. it requires a C compiler, i.e. end-users cannot dump their own
customized Emacs without having a compiler and linker installed
