It is *such* a pity!  I said similar sad words just two days ago
when shortly touching linux-man at .  That we lost (i only track your
git mirror of) it, and are left with only gigabyte monsters that
go universes beyond Ken Thompson's "reasonable optimizations"
(iirc), and tcc (luckily this we have).  Here the built gcc ball
is 243 times larger than tcc's, and clang is 284 times larger
even!
