Dunno, I'm not very familiar with this area.  (It's been around two years 
since I needed to use dlopen() on a shared library, it's "pull out the man 
pages" time and I assume you've already done that...)

Did you try doing the same thing with gcc?  If it works with gcc and not with 
tcc, it's a bug and we need to fix it.  (Comparing the resulting binaries is 
a good way to figure out what the heck's wrong, too...)
