Yes. There is one in the AT&T Toolchest called awkcc. See my previous
post for Toolchest phone number and login.
Jon Bentley did some research on awkcc produced C programs and found the
C programs it generated were generally faster by an order of magnitude
than the awk input programs; however, there were a few instances where
the awk programs were faster. Usually if there was a lot of i/o the C
program was faster.
