By latest spec you're referring to C11? I recall a coworker pointing me at http://www.tinycc.org/ awhile ago, and looking at the page today it says it mostly implements the previous C99 specification It claims to be small, mostly compliant to C99 ("Currently missing items are: complex and imaginary numbers and variable length arrays."), and fast.
