true.

false.  TCC translates to machine code immediately while it reads
along the input C:

Actually there is a CIL generator in the TinyCC sources that was
written once by Fabrice Bellard:
    http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git/blob/refs/heads/mob:/il-gen.c
    http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git/blob/refs/heads/mob:/il-opcodes.h
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Intermediate_Language

However it has fallen behind since then so definitely would need
some care if someone wants to reactivate it.
