I think pcc is currently the only realistic solution, but it still
needs a lot of work,
and we would want to do this without compromising support for gcc/clang, so
it means fixing pcc, as well as adding more architectures. (I would be happy
with a no c++ base system to support this). pcc has come a long way, and
we could get to a pcc base system for some architectures for 8.0 I think.
