I'm not sure what your point is. The person I replied to was justifying a 266MB binary by saying a compiler was included. Are you saying optimization would make tcc 2,660 times as big?

The point is that LLVM does much, much more than TCC and, while it is definitely possible that LLVM could have done that in a smaller binary, TCC is probably not a good thing to compare with because it only does a bare minimum. I should also note that LLVM is a cross-compiler by default...

  The person I replied to just said it is 266MB because it includes a compiler, and that obviously isn't true. https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime This says 4000 lines https://github.com/explodingcamera/tinywasm https://github.com/explodingcamera/tinywasm What are we talking about here? There is obviously no reason a wasm jit has to be 266 MB
