Hamish:

IMHO, romcc is a very remarkable piece of work by Eric Biederman. I 
argued against it at the time as being too ambitious, but of course, 
Eric proved it could be done.  It really should be put up on its own web 
site as a separate project.  There are probably other projects that 
could benefit from a C code compiler that operates purely in registers 
without RAM enabled.
