pick any C compiler that allows inline asm and jump (using a asm
goto/jmp...) between places with equivalently set up stacks (i.e. 2
functions with identical arity, call type, return type, and number of
local variables visible at the location of the jump and of the target
label). Assuming that the jumped into function will not choke on the local
variables in the stack it should work. There was a simple time-sharing
'library' scheme written entirely in C that relied on this but I don't
remember where I saw this.

and why should you beware of me ? ;)
