And just as a further nitpick (if the above weren’t enough), what happens
if the “file” your C compiler is writing to is in a RAM disk?

Well, the output could be stored with no problem, because while it's
on the RAM disk, it can't be executed. It has to be copied from the
RAM disk, into memory that's not pretending to be a disk, by the
loader. So this case doesn't change anything from the case of a real
disk.
