I suppose it all depends on how secure you want the final binary to be. The GNU C compiler with -O3 and targetting the x86 instruction set really does quite a good job of (one-way) encrypting source code. The plethora of java decompilers suggests that bytecode (for Java at least) is nowhere near as "secure".
