At the meeting i mentioned lcc, the light fast ANSI C compiler.  It
turns out there's a recent version (4.2) out that can once again be
built on Linux/gcc/glibc.  Some of the tests appear to fail but
bootstrapping the compiler with itself, the ultimate test, succeeds,
so I think the failures are just due to obsolete inputs.

It can be downloaded from

(Unfortunately the build is quite labor-intensive for those addicted
to autoconf.)
