Re: [Tinycc-devel] .rept .endr for *.S. Any ideas?

2010 actually, for 2.4.37.10.

But yes, the jump in size and complexity from 2.4 to 2.6 is quite dramatic.

Thanks.

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/
linux-2.4.31.tar.xz           01-Jun-2005 00:56   23M
linux-2.4.37.tar.xz           01-May-2013 12:39   23M

The last is not so old. And there are questions on StackOverflow from people 
(2013) who want to use thise kernel

2.4.xx kernels are quite small, can be compiled by tcc in 10 seconds.
This helps to study kernel internals too.

PPS:
After solving problems with tcc on 2.4.XX kernels we can go to the 2.6.9, 
2.6.18, 2.6.32
