A thing that would be funny to test: use tcc to compile things like
OpenOffice or Gecko based browsers. If that works, I wonder how this
software would perform. Maybe Gentoo should really think about
including it in it's C compiler suite
Fabrice Bellard is the creator of ffmpeg and qemu, then I would
recommend to keep an eye on tcc.
