An article over, these claims are exaggerated - they have dumped the tinycc compiler, not written one from scratch.

I don't think tinycc can compile the Linux kernel into a bootable image.
It could once upon a time: https://www.bellard.org/tcc/tccboot.html
It can't do that today though. Linux uses C11 features and also many GCC extensions that tcc doesn't implement.
tinycc wasn't written in Rust.
