Hi,

here's a preliminary manpage for romcc. Some details need to be added,
e.g. the author, the extact license, bug-report address etc.
Who wrote romcc, and which license applies? There's a COPYING file in
the directory, so it's probably the GPL. Version 2 or v2 and later?

Btw, is romcc still maintained? The romcc.c file says
RELEASE_DATE "15 November 2004".

Also, the test-suite doesn't build for me (I simply typed 'make'):

[...]
<built-in>:1.0: simple_test26.c:20.26: warning: used: %mm7
<built-in>:1.0: simple_test26.c:20.26: 
too few registers
make: *** [tests/simple_test26.S-O2-mmmx] Error 1


Uwe.

.TH ROMCC 1 "September 7, 2006"
.SH NAME
romcc \- compile C programs into binaries that don't use any RAM
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B romcc
.BR [ OPTIONS ]
.IR "<source>" ".c"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B romcc
is a C compiler which produces binaries which do not rely on RAM, but
instead only use CPU registers.
.br
It is prominently used in the LinuxBIOS project to compile C code which
needs to run before the (Linux)BIOS has initialized the RAM, but can be
used for other purposes, too.
.SH OPTIONS
.B "\-o" <filename>
Output file name.
.PP
.B "\-f<option>"
Specify a generic compiler option.
.PP
.B "\-m<option>"
Specify an architecture-dependent compiler option.
.PP
.B "\-\-"
Specify that this is the last option.
