 How good are your diagnostics compared to GCC -O2, plus -Wall and -W?

Using products like tcc doesn't mean never using gcc. (Especially on Linux where you will have it installed anyway.)
You can use the latter to do extra, periodic checks that the simpler compiler may have missed, or to produce faster production builds.
But gcc is not needed for routine compilation.
