I'm curious what GCC would do if it wasn't purposely lobotomised and fed 300 GB of this nuclear waste.

Well I created the 16 bit .c file, because I'm not that curious. gcc -O0 completed immediately and made a 1,5MB executable. -O1 took about 10 minutes for a 1,8 MB executable. -O2 has been running for 1h15m so far... i7-14700K

I'm in too deep now, so I'll let it run while I'm at work.
