Absolutely.

If by "compiled" you really do mean "compiled", it's as easy as
permitting only linkage to a tightly controlled set of libraries, of
which you know that they can't possibly do any harm (which may require
providing a custom runtime library).

If by "compiled" you actually mean "built", i.e. compiled /and/ linked,
it's as "easy" as running the program in a virtual machine.
