No, this was a standalone 119MB clang.exe. I had to give it a tweaked 
hello.c without stdio.h, and it produced only hello.s.

My cc.exe is 1/400th the size (99.75% smaller) and it can convert 
hello.c (/with/ stdio.h) to hello.exe, or any of half-dozen options 
within the same package (eg. interpret or run).

(cc.exe concentrates on single-file programs. To compile multi-module 
programs, it needs a 200-line script, and an extra 0.1MB utility, an 
assembler-linker. Then outputs are limited to EXE/DLL/OBJ/MX.

Most of my needs for a C compiler however are for programs contained 
within one file.)
