But there isn't code generators for Alpha and PowerPC (that I know of),
and it isn't ISO-C99. Sounds like a good project... hint, hint.

TenDRA fits that and IMHO is a more industrial straight compiler than
LCC. BUT as we have seen, no one has picked up TenDRA and moved forward
with it. Adding ISO-C99 support would be one thing needed. Retargeting
to Alpha, PowerPC, and IA-64 another.
