GCC unplugged

This sort of thing is why I started up my own fork of tcc.  (Fabrice 
Bellard's Tiny C Compiler, which he stopped working on in 2005 because 
QEMU made it big and took over his programming life.)

These days my fork is called TinyCC, "http://landley.net/code/tinycc".  It 
has its own mercurial repository and mailing list and so on.  I'm trying 
to get a release out by the end of December (the goal for this release is 
both redoing the build system and getting it to build and work on an 
x86-64 host, albeit still generating 32 bit executables).  The goal for 
the release after that is adding an x86-64 target (which involves making 
the internals 64-bit clean), although I plan to do six month "timed 
releases" as much as any specific feature set.

My goal for next year is to get it to build an unmodified Linux kernel.  
It's actually pretty close...
