There TinyCC serves as a C99 toolchain on Minix-vmd, but the OS kernel
still depends on the Amsterdam Compiler Kit.

Today an update to the project presented a Linux[*] instance with TinyCC
as the only toolchain, self-hosting both the kernel and the userspace.

[*] an old kernel; the modern ones are remarkably compiler-dependent

Once again:
  Kudos to the TinyCC developers for your work!
