Re: "i have this feeling about lowtech (not permacomputing) that..."
Maybe you should scc:
It is mostly written by one person (which I happen to know personally) and builds ISO C99 programs with qbe.

i have this feeling about lowtech (not permacomputing) that gcc is not lowtech. however, tcc is. we feel that c is lowtech, because it has a small syntax and it is possible to write efficient code with it, but we forget that the c we use has lots of corporate investments, lots of language extensions, and the compiler compiles in hours. tcc is lowtech, because it supports standard c without extensions and it is easy to compile it. however, it is not possible to compile linux kernes with tcc....
