Doesn't look like it to me.  See section 6.6 of the c99 draft

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf

Although technically I suppose you could do constant initializations
at run-time instead of translation-time, so long as they're done
before main..  The key point being whether it's a constant expression,
not time of evaluation.
