<aggi>argh, the qemu-0.14.1.static tinycc/linux2 port does not yet pass runtime testing <aggi>i think it is posix/timer-subsystem related <aggi>maybe i can/must backport posix-timer.c <aggi>however, a few other (non-botstrappable related) software pieces did pass testing (mplayer/ffmpeg/boom, OSS-audio/midi/libsdl, video-out) <aggi>interestingly, all of the latter can be driven with generic kernel/driver-modules (vesafb, usbaudio-class) <aggi>the usbaudio could become interesting for playing with AX.25 radio-links (although it's not yet verified if OSS/usbaudio on linux2 did support recording/line-in channel) <aggi>another remarkable insight, i386-tcc -O0 performance hit is necligible - even with mplayer/ffmpeg/video (without any ASM routines nor other optimizations) <aggi>it's on par with gcc -O2 compiled software-renderer almost with this test-case <aggi>i386-tcc binary ELF is decent performance even with realtime audio/video I/O and 3d-software-rasterizing <aggi>and, it could be even better if i cross-checked some optimized ASM codepaths in libsdl/ffmpeg/etc. (since tcc got assembly support) <aggi>anyway, the qemu situation is a little concerning - so i'm in mixed mood over recent runtime testing results <wildwestrom>Work in progress and made with heavy use of LLMs (I'm very sorry).
