Well, I have some reservations about accepting that an embedded system that has KB range restrictions would use SQLite. You won't compile SQLite for an 8051 or PIC or 8-bit AVR. And if you're in the league of M68K and up, gcc is there. Note the M68K is an almost 40 years old core. If you have maintain a 10+ year old embedded system with a non-mainstream chip, that was built using some weird compiler of *that* day and which happened to use SQLite of *that* day, you can use the 10+ year old SQLite source, just as you have to use the 10+ year old compiler to compile your own code for that system. On the other hand, if you want to build an embedded system with SQLite today, you would quite likely use a modern CPU (ARM chips are dirt cheap, often cheaper than an 8-bitter) for which you can use a modern compiler (e.g. gcc), so you're not restricted to C89 or earlier.
