I'm looking into self-hosting compilers, is there a good link for Oberons code that achieves this? Or you just are mentioning that Oberon would probably be able to if one were implemented?

Oberon is implemented in itself: http://www.projectoberon.com

The implementation includes the hardware too.

Taken together, the system including single-tasking OS, windowing system and Oberon takes about 9000 lines of code.

Even better, A2/bluebottle is multithreaded with a ZUI and runs faster than Linux:

Also, following on from A2, Composita introduces a component architecture to allow managed memory without GC, and contextless switches (IMHO better than Rust):
