unfortunately tcc does not support C++ and there are pieces of FreeBSD
that are written in C++. Not sure about the kernel but this is definitely
true for userland.

Also, there are parts of the kernel code that rely heavily on
linker tricks, playing with ELF sections and the like.
I am not sure how tcc handles these features.
