See "external dependencies", above.  The one thing make has going for it is 
it's already installed in every Linux development environment.

Building the entire project, including all cross compiler targets, the build 
currently does this:

cc -O2 -g -Wall -fsigned-char -Os -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -m386 \
        -malign-functions=0 -o tcc tcc.c -lm -ldl
cc -O2 -g -Wall -fsigned-char -Os -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -m386 \
        -malign-functions=0 -DTCC_TARGET_ARM -DTCC_ARM_EABI \
        -o arm-tcc tcc.c -lm -ldl
cc -O2 -g -Wall -fsigned-char -Os -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -m386 \
        -malign-functions=0 -DTCC_TARGET_C67 -o c67-tcc tcc.c -lm -ldl
cc -O2 -g -Wall -fsigned-char -Os -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -m386 \
        -malign-functions=0 -DTCC_TARGET_PE -o i386-win32-tcc tcc.c -lm -ldl
cc -O2 -Wall -c -o libtcc1.o libtcc1.c
cc -c -o i386/alloca86.o i386/alloca86.S
cc -c -o i386/bound-alloca86.o i386/bound-alloca86.S
ar rcs libtcc1.a libtcc1.o i386/alloca86.o i386/bound-alloca86.o
cc -O2 -Wall -c -o bcheck.o bcheck.c
cc -O2 -g -Wall -fsigned-char -Os -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -m386 \
        -malign-functions=0 -DLIBTCC -c -o libtcc.o tcc.c
ar rcs libtcc.a libtcc.o

The above can actually be _simplified_ somewhat, I suspect.  Why, exactly, 
does this need more complexity than a very small shell script? 

(For the moment, being able to tell it NOT to build the various cross 
compilers is almost more trouble than it's worth.  Maybe that'll change when 
we get more cross-compilers.  I'm also wondering what would be involved in 
making them share more code, especially since there's a libtcc.o already...)
