Re: [Tinycc-devel] TCC on new ARM selfhosted

[Shawn Rutledge]

I'd be interested in this mainly for use with Chicken Scheme.  The
compiler translates Scheme to C and then compiles the C.  (There is
also an interpreter, but it's not a particularly fast one.)  I use it
now on a Zaurus with gcc, but I run it from a chroot image on a CF
card because usually gcc is not installed on an OpenZaurus image.
It's also kindof slow, and I'm sure tcc would be much faster.
