I tried compiling busybox using tcc, tcc seems to have problems with
automatic casting, it can be fixed by specifying more precicly when your
casting, it also had problems handling some #ifdef #endif statements. I
got upto compiling libbb and it stoped at syscalls with this error.
 
/libbb/syscalls.c:44: '__asm__' undeclared

__asm__ scares me so i stopped there.

On a more positive note, on a very simple test it did compile 10% smaller
than gcc -Os so it has promise.

Oh and when it caught some of the casting errors it said the error was on
the next line.
