I have successfully used resources in Tcc by adding a
line to the source code such as:
int dummy __attribute__ ((section(".rsrc")));

Then I use a use a small program I wrote that adds a
resource file (.res) to the compiled exe. I can email
it to you if you like ?

You can compile the original .rc script files with the
freely available rc.exe from Microsoft.
