"Someone here said pcc suffers from ancient bad design decisions. What would those be? The codebase is almost entirely new, very little of the original code remains."
Exactly - so they're essentially scratchwriting a compiler, it's just everyone's afraid of saying that for some reason. Perhaps because it betrays the mammoth nature of the task.

Well, there were some maybe not so good design decisions in the compiler, but those that matters has been corrected. Hey, it's a small compiler, not so difficult to fix things :-)
