The clang/LLVM based ELLCC project (http://ellcc.org), after having 
reached a huge milestone (http://ellcc.org/blog/?p=231) has now 
successfully compiled itself.

The steps were:
1. Use gcc to build the compiler with Linux standard libraries.
2. Use ecc to build itself with libc++, libc++ABI, libunwind, musl, and 
compiler-rt
3. Use the newly built compiler to build itself again.

One interesting side note: The compiler was 12MB smaller after it built 
itself.

Even more interesting, it was compiled statically. No dynamic libraries 
needed:

That is very cool.

I understand my question is rather stupid, but what is the most 
preferable way to use ecc as a compiler to build itself? Even if I set 
cc and cxx variables in the root configure script, it still builds 
everything with gcc. Is setting CC and CXX environment variables sufficient?

I'd cc: the relevant parties but this mailing list is misconfigured  
with the broken reply-to: tag so I'd have to dig through the backscroll  
to find out who they are. Oh well.

My question is even dumber: why does the ellcc.org download page say  
the last release was a year ago?

There are only binaries on a download page and I don't believe binary 
downloads pages any more, so I checked out from SVN repository. I 
confirm it is able to compile C and C++ code and link it statically with 
musl libc and clang libc++, but I have this trouble with using it to 
recompile itself. It compiles about 2 hours on my box so it is quite 
hard to experiment with environment variables just to find out it was 
still built with GCC.
