If I remember correctly, last I checked, libfirm/cparser was working
fine for static linking, but did not support dynamic linking (it
completely lacked position-independent code generation, i.e. -fPIC).
There were some problems with complex and some floating point things,
but I think they were all fixed. I built a static libc.a with cparser
and the results passed basic testing.

This is definitely the most promising GCC-alternative compiler I've
seen, so if anybody's up for helping promote it and/or contribute to
the project, that would be great.
