+lcc is the retargetable ANSI C compiler described in the book
+`A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation'
+(Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0-8053-1670-1).
+
+lcc is a production compiler with a hand crafted lexical analyzer and a
+hand-coded recursive decent parser. The lexer and parser code is well
+written and very easy to read (and learn from :-)).
+
+lcc compiles much faster than FreeBSD's stock [gcc] compiler. However, it
+does not under stand FreeBSD's "long long" data type.
+
+See http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/pkg/install.html for updates,
+patches, and more information.
