To report and handle issues test coverage should be sufficient to detect any.
Hence a complete distribution compiled/linked with TinyCC could be relevant.

I'm fighting tooth and nail a sufficiently complete GNU/POSIX base sytem profile
including development utilities were confirmed against TinyCC toolchain,
for i386-tcc native at least.

However, besides TinyCC development itself, additional development and
maintenance efforts for any such system had to be considered.
As a consequence, the demand for any TinyCC release too could involve that of a
sufficiently complete Operating System distribution release driven by it.

Good news is: mentioned i586-tinycc-linux2-musl.iso system does compile and boot
Bad news is: i'm hitting limits with time, money, resources dedicated to this,
since i had to fork kernel, fork libc, fork a portage tree of ~500 builds.

So far dozens of cooperation requests, at local university, various prominent
employers, in Germany, etc. were hit by a brickwall of denial and ingorance.
I'll keep you updated with any release/git-push asap; current situation doesn't
permit any further publication indefinitely.
