Small, lesser known C compilers - a list

   Every C compiler that is not gcc or clang and runs on either Linux,
   MacOSX or Windows is accepted. Please also give the supported versions
   of C. The project should at least attempt to accord to an existing
   standard.
     * [10]8cc: A small, self-hosting C11 compiler.
     * [11]tcc: The fastest known C99 compiler, by Bellard.
     * [12]c: Attempt at a very elegant, small C11 compiler by Andrew
       Chambers.
     * [13]scc: A C99 compiler by the suckless project.
     * [14]fcc: Fedjmike's C11 Compiler.
     * [15]pcc: pcc, the portable C99 compiler
     * [16]lcc: lcc, a retargetable C99 compiler
     * [17]ack: The Amsterdam Compiler Kit, originally written for Minix.
       C89.
     * [18]neatcc: Sub-C89 compiler with the goals simplicity, usability
       and reliability. [19]The manual.
     * [20]nwcc: C89 compiler written by Nils Weller. Already able to
       compile applications like for example bash and lynx.
     * Suggested by [21]u/FUZxxl: [22]kencc, and the [23]Plan 9 compilers
       (although they don't run on Linux or MacOSX or Windows). I didn't
       find any official link for the sun C compiler.
     * Suggested by [24]u/systemsock: [25]pellesc. A small IDE (compiler,
       assembler, macro assembler and a lot more) for Windows.
     * Suggested [26]u/wang_li: [27]Oracle Solaris Studio
     * suggested by [28]u/staalmannen: [29]openwatcom, "the only proper
       16-bit compilers still alive".
     * Suggested by [30]u/skeeto: [31]sdcc: a retargettable, ANSI C
       compiler, [32]bcc: Bruce's ANSI C compiler
     * Suggested by [33]u/dmitrinove: [34]vbcc, a "highly optimizing
       portable and retargetable ISO C compiler"

   [35]Other C compilers I did not consider worth noting.

   Thanks for the submissions!

   I will put them into the wiki and post a similar thread about
   implementations of the C standard library.
