I thought RPython already supported this? (admittedly, my knowledge of of the inner workings of PyPy is fairly sketchy, but I thought static compilation of RPython to a variety of backend targets was one of the key building blocks)

Maybe so, but one would still have to create the appropriate backend to target the machine in question. I wouldn't like to rely on a generic C-generating backend to target something very tiny in an effective way.
