The Propeller is so short on closely coupled RAM that even to be able to
use a decent C compiler, someone implemented a "virtual CPU" interpreter
(i.e. "ZPU" architecture) to be run by the propeller core and create
code for this architecture by a gnu c compiler that is provided by same.
I'm not at all sure about this, but I think there are two distinct GCC
ports: one native (propgcc) and the other using the ZOG (ZPU) VM. I
think we need to be careful here lest we rehash the PRU confusion.
