Yeah. On macOS, Xcode is a 4.x GB download size and 12 GB install size 
(just looking at what I currently have).

Perhaps we should take the missing parts from the ELLCC tool chain [1]. 
It's a cross-compiler tool chain based on LLVM. It contains a compiler, 
linker, C/C++ standard library, other binutils and is completely self 
contained.
