I didn't actually know that TCG was built from tcc, interesting.
Leveraging TCG in its current JIT-optimized state could actually be very compelling though: the only "C interpreters" I'm aware of are PicoC and Ch (and pedantically, tcc -run), all very different codebases. None offer a JIT-optimizing C interpreter though.

I take it that all that would be necessary would be ripping out the disassembler frontend and wiring in something like http://www.quut.com/c/ANSI-C-grammar-y.html + http://www.quut.com/c/ANSI-C-grammar-l-2011.html (or an equivalent), or maybe even a (heavily) forward-ported copy of tcc's C parser?
