Re: [Tinycc-devel] C6x Port

[Fabrice Bellard]

Hi,

I am very interested to see your source code (TCC has never been ported 
before - and generating COFF instead of ELF is also very interesting - 
even for x86 it would be useful for a windows port). Can you send it to 
me or to the mailing list or give a link ? Since TCC is released under 
the GPL you can do anything with it (including selling it) provided you 
release the source code.
