What you ask is a) off-topic and b) logically impossible. Sorry.
If you want to discuss source-code obfuscation techniques, please try the
gcc-help list or other generic programming list/group: this group is about
working on the internals of the compiler itself.
However, you will get much the same advice there: it is impossible. You can
make source code hard to read and unclear, but that's the most that you can
do. If the crypto-sources-compiler could decode it enough to compile it, so
could anyone else.
[ Plus, of all the places to ask, a mailing list of an organisation dedicated
to the promotion of open source and free software is not very likely to be the
best place to seek advice on how to hide your code and keep it secret! ]
