 As I understand from the posts to my question tcc is not able to do it yet. The quote you have there is what tried.

 

Using LinkRes2Exe works. At least with simple resource stuff.

 The process I got working, to get a exe from my sample code, went like this:

 

    tcc testResources.c

    rc.exe testResources.rc

    LinkRes2Exe testResources.RES testResources.exe

 

I added this LinkRes2Exe required line of code at the top of my file before I compiled it:

    int dummy __attribute__((section(".rsrc")));

 

I have cmd wrapers setting my include and lib paths.
