it cant be *arbitrarily* reentrant?

I admitted that *what* is not doable?

Forcing an arbitrary C program to be reentrant?

Yes, quibbling aside, that isn't possible.

But in the environment he is thinking of using it in, he doesn't need it to
be an arbitrary C program.  He can write his C code so that it's naturally
reentrant, and doesn't use library functions, except perhaps the ones that
are able to be made available in a non-hosted environment.
