We'd like to see a modern C99 compiler which performs reasonable well and only
supports C, not C++. gcc is too slow and too focused on language-agnostics and
particularly focused on its C++ support. We got the impression that most open
-source software is written in C and makes no use of C++, so that it would be
-desirable to have a modern C99 compiler for the x86 and arm architecture.

-We are also concerned about recent attempts by certain parties to implement the
-C frontend for gcc in C++. We believe that is a bad decision in general (due to
-demanding C++ as bootstrapping environment) and would like to get rid from the
-gcc dependency for these reasons.

We'd like to see that the C99 compiler is able to build recent linux kernels as
a test bed.
Due to the high difficulty we believe that this project might consist of up to
