Right now, lcc has limited OS support to only Windows and Linux.
This change enables compiling lcc using cosmopolitan libc which reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS on AMD64 and ARM64.
As cosmopolitan had the kill function collide with the kill function in dag.c, we renamed the function to kkill, since it's basically kill kids... 🥲
If this change is accepted, in the future we could bundle all the executables into one
lcc.comas APE executables have a pkzip section at their EOF to hold data in the executable as a self-contained environment we canfopenfrom.Thank you for this great project !
