Not exactly, it's just that I have seen production quality C compilers
that weren't
not able to compile even the only handwritten C file in the chicken
system (Digital Mars C). Compiling large files and machine generated ones
stress C compilers quite a lot and turns up many bugs. Tcc is optimized
for small programs, and for embedding. I mean, it would be cool if it works
out, but I have my doubts...
