produce output suitable for nlmconv, but as a last resort you could look into a
compiler that generates C as its intermediate language, such as the one from
Sofcheck:

I have never used this product but it seems that it would be kind of
a pain to "debug" or integrate from the generated code back to the
source code (by the way what marketing guy came up with those horrible
product names).

It is quite common for C to be a target language.
The C files refer back to the original sources
via #line directives, for example. This has worked well
for several decades, in several setups.
