The patch is just a quick hack. If at all we could rename error
to tcc_error all over the source code.  Nut I'm not quite sure
that libc should have a symbol called "error".

And what is the problem exactly?  Does TCC use the wrong "error"
or does something else use tcc's error?  Also there should be a
warning AFAIK, with duplicate symbols in libraries.
