May I dare to ask what romcc is? :)
Sorry I guess I should have been a little more clear.
There has been a long standing issue with LinuxBIOS that much of the code needs to be written in assembly because it is run before memory is initialized, and so there is not a stack available.
romcc is a small c compiler that generates code that runs without a stack. The full feature set of C is not available but as much as is easy and is possible is.
The goal is to make maintenance easier, and code reviews of the memory setup easier.
