I suspect he's talking about tinycc, a project I maintain which started
out as a collection of fixes for tcc back in 2006 and which I got
Fabrice Bellard's permission to turn into a full fledged project of its
own (licensed under GPLv2) a year later.  (Fabrice is off dealing with
qemu and not maintaining tcc anymore, his reaction to my fork turning
into a real project was, and I quote, "have fun".)

The project web page is at http://landley.net/code/tinycc and that links
to the mailing list, mercurial repository, and downloads page.

There's more detailed history at the end of the README file:
http://landley.net/hg/tinycc/file/tip/README

I use the name "tinycc" to distinguish the project from the old tcc.

My project builds on an x86-64 host (doesn't output x86-64 binaries yet, but 
I'm working on it).  It's much more cross-compiler friendly, and possible to 
build against things like uClibc.  I have a todo list as long as your arm:
http://landley.net/code/tinycc/todo.txt

And my ultimate goal with this thing is to build an unmodified Linux
kernel and complete (uClibc based) root filesystem with it, then get the
whole system to rebuild under itself without gcc or binutils.  I also
want to add x86-64, powerpc, and mips targets, but I still have a lot of
learning to do there...
