It's great they do C23. I'd love to get three-four projects worth of things merged together for a good reason:
- TinyCC, SDCC, Musl and Cosmopolitan Libc
Reason is that I require a quick fast portable compiler with a decent runtime that can also be embedded into a larger runtime, like the way Bun does - while keeping runtime small and portable.
SDCC does not need the same amount of bloat - having decent small C runtime is a job in itself. Fixing it once could allow a better compiler that isn't quite as bloated as LLVM nor as small like TinyCC.

That gap isn't solved.
