I downloaded tcc.tgz and installed it.  It worked to compile the 
relatively simple program base64.

gcc-2.95.3 compiled it to 37,100 bytes which stripped to 6,944 bytes and 
then upxed to 4818 bytes.

tcc compiled it to 15,380 bytes which stripped to 6,956 bytes, and upxed 
to 4504 bytes.

Both stripped and upxed versions of base64 converted base64.c to a file 
with the same md5sum.

So tcc produced a slightly larger stripped [upxed] executable.


I then tried to compile msmtp, with default configuration.  It configured, 
but complained about some file not having a ';'.

Sox.  ./configure worked.  make exited with an error about a file not 
containing 'l'.

Tcc is probably fun to use when writing your own little programs in c.
It is 64K and gcc is 70K.  gcc has lots more additional header files (and 
documentation, and additional executables.)

It is tricky to get most recent programs to even compile with gcc 2.95.3.
