You're not using the tcc backend.

It says

Note: `tcc` was not used, so unless you install it yourself, your backend C compiler will be `cc`, which is usually either `clang`, `gcc` or `msvc`.

Also you have "gcc" in your error:

See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-7/README.Bugs>

And on the website the claim is made for tcc and x64 backends.

Like I said, no way it'd take 15 seconds :)

If I was not using the tcc backend for the first execution, then why would the second execution without tcc.exe be timed out? (I have also checked strace just like the OP.) It seems unlikely that the first execution and the second execution use the same gcc and still behave in such diverging ways. And if my reasoning is incorrect, please do not instinctively reply to me (I had enough) and put a proper diagnostic to tell whether TCC is being used, since it looks like a genuine confusion.

    You're not using tcc, because the language literally tells you so, you get a GCC error, and you get 10x slower compilation time.

    I think it's pretty clear.

    Anyway, now that we are clear on the compilation speed claim, can you please list a couple of those extraordinary claims?
