Don't know if you can precompile the code, but a small amount of security
can be achieved by using Virtual Machines (VMWare, Xain) and keep the code
inside, giving the root password to no one.  Of course, it is not even close
to 100% secure. A smart guy would mount the disk image as a secondary HD on
another virtual machine and read the source code for your application, but
at least you can prevent most people from reading the code.
