Neither hc and pcc can really compile gcc alone. You have to use both at various times. The tar file from nyu contains prebuilt binaries that you can use for bootstrapping, though, so this really isn't a problem. Beyond that, gcc-1.35.99.ROMP doesn't always generate correct code. Some applications die with mysterious core dumps (which is better than if they ran but computed the wrong stuff, though). When it does work, it is pretty good, generating smaller binaries than hc does. (So what else is new?) -- Scott Schwartz
