I'm confused. I thought *you* were proposing to write a FreeQB. Are you
not? Sounds like you are instead asking others to write it for you?
That said, I agree that it would be great for FreeQB to compile programs,
so users can run them outside of the interpreter. If that's by outputting
intermediate code (such as NASM, as Mercury Thirteen suggested) that is
fine.

They have them available on SourceForge. I just grabbed the latest file
(Aura m4, 2015) and the rar file includes both the binary and the source.
I didn't run it to test, but the rar file looks like it has everything.
Here's their SourceForge project page:
