Well, just installed it and tried building the kernel. Fails every file. :)

It's definitely something to work towards - but I don't know if kernel
advancements requiring newer GCC versions will go slow enough to allow
TCC improvements to arise. This isn't just something like with Clang
where a few tweaks to files and to Clang itself did the trick.
