Hi All,
> Search the list for riscv32. I remember someone is working on this.I've been (slowly) working on a rv32 tcc port (git repo here:
https://github.com/sellicott/tcc-riscv32)The current status of the project is work-in-progress.
It's finished enough to compile and link simple "hello world" type programs on a rv32 emulator. I'm currently working through getting all the tests to pass then bootstrap the compiler with itself. (right now I'm working on a bug with the ternary operator)
The cross compiler isn't completely broken, but it still breaks somewhere in the microcontroller hardware initialization code before main on an esp32c3 microcontroller.
For now I am planning on getting the native compiler fully functional before working any more on the cross compiler.

> This makes it a little more difficult to support this.As for this, I had to make an openembedded image for rv32 linux to build the native version of rv32 tcc. Unfortunately buildroot won't work since the project doesn't have an option to build a native version of gcc to run inside the emulator.
The process for building the image is slow and takes up way too much disk space for my liking but instructions are here (
https://github.com/riscv/meta-riscv). At that point you also need to build in git and gcc into the image so that you can clone and build the tcc port natively.
If you just want to play with the tcc cross compiler, that is much easier. I have notes for that here: (

Hopefully this is helpful.
