Hm, I just tried a bit, and there are not much musl files that it
compiles successfully, yet :( On some it gives a clue what's wrong, on
many others it simply crashes, it seems.
Also, support for _Complex, _Atomic, _Static_assert seems to be
missing, which for me makes it a bit pointless to claim C11
conformance.
And it simply doesn't work with the header files that my system
provides. Makes me realize how gcc'ish linux distributions are. But
using it with musl and its clean headers should be easier to do.
Compile time and code size of the compiler are in fact really
impressive.
