Thank you for testing the different configure options on macos.
I can easily fix this but it will fail later. I'm not sure that tcc is currently able to generate .dylib
tcc -shared -o libtcc.dylib libtcc.o tccpp.o tccgen.o tccelf.o tccasm.o tccrun.o x86_64-gen.o x86_64-link.o i386-asm.o tccmacho.o

Subject: [Tinycc-devel] [issue] macos: tcc cannot self-host with --disable-static
Self-hosting with static linking works fine:
[ -e ./conftest.c ] || { echo error: not tcc root; exit 1; }
rm -rf ./bld ./bldself ./dist1 2>/dev/null || :
mkdir bld && cd bld && \
../configure --prefix=$(pwd)/../dist1 && make && make test && make install
cd .. && mkdir bldself && cd bldself && \
../configure --cc=$(pwd)/../dist1/bin/tcc && make && make test
However, if changing the last line to:
../configure --disable-static --cc=$(pwd)/../dist1/bin/tcc && make && make test
then `make' fails at the end on this line:
<...>/../dist1/bin/tcc -dynamiclib -current_version 0.9.27 -compatibility_version 0.9.27 -install_name @rpath/libtcc.dylib -o libtcc.dylib libtcc.o tccpp.o tccgen.o tccelf.o tccasm.o tccrun.o x86_64-gen.o x86_64-link.o i386-asm.o tccmacho.o
with:
tcc: error: invalid option -- '-current_version'
make: *** [libtcc.dylib] Error 1
I guess it's somewhat expected that these options are not currently
supported, but I think it would be nice if tcc could self-host a dynamically
linked tcc.
