    Hi,

    Just to announce that it is now possible to compile and start booting
    Linux with the TCCBOOT boot loader
    (http://bellard.org/tcc/tccboot.html). It takes less than 15 seconds on
    a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 to compile and boot Linux :-)

    TCCBOOT contains the latest release of the TinyCC C compiler, assembler
    and linker, which is able to compile most of the Linux kernel with only
    tiny patches. Of course there are still a few bugs in the generated
    kernel, and the code quality is far from the one of GCC, but it shows
    what it is possible to do with a 110 KB C compiler !

    Fabrice.
