I am purposely cleaning up the directory so that builds occur from
scratch as I *** switch between branches *** in the git repo. Especially on
the 'stable' and 'master' branches I have to be sure that anyone
checking out those branches will have things work for them.


I am thinking this discussion has gotten out of hand and I apologize
for it. All I'm looking for is a fast compiler for development
since I on purpose do a lot of configure + make from scratch.
I don't care about code quality; just that 'make check' passes.


Since posting, I have repaired tcc to the point where I can use it,
so I'm happy. The PCC issue remains to be resolved; gawk's code changed
(the dfa module from grep) and PCC stopped working. I will eventually
go to the trouble of isolating the problem but it's probably a few
hours' work and that's time I don't have right now.


Thanks to everyone for their replies.
