LisPi (nprofile…2mzm) OCaml has an interesting approach in that regard. It has an official bytecode target, and they include a bytecode executable of the compiler and C code for a bytecode interpreter, so it's possible to bootstrap it on any system that has at least a somewhat sane C compiler.
That's also what allows OPAM to create a compiler installation on any machine that doesn't have a system-wide OCaml installation and may not even have it officially packaged yet.
