Sure, but tcc needs the functionality, so it needs to provide an 
implementation of it in one way or the other (either by reusing the GCC 
variant if available or by implementing its own).

Sigh, another one of those fast-fingered hacks :-/

(That's my worry with randomly trying to use other compilers for building 
tcc: accumulating more of these crap hacks without putting in a real 
solution).
