Re:A minimal C compiler in x86 assembly

"just compiling" gcc means to have all its SDKs dependencies satisfied too...
g++ 4.7.4 is the last g++ written in simple C. In theory, you should be able to compile all gccs above 4.7.4 (with their SDKs) with g++ 4.7.4 (Last time I tried I was successful with a gcc10 for x86).
I wonder who are the "geniuses" who pushed the gcc steering committee to move gcc to C++98 (the pedophile Epstein?).
That said, the C based dialect required to compile a linux/*bsd kernel is no better either.
As for my personal opinion: much of open source software is now corpo-grade trash, but unlike toxic abominations like windoz/rottenfruitOS/etc, it is free as in free beer and heavily customizable.
