You did not apply the patch because you knew it doesn't work? ;)

Since there is logically no difference between
    else if (!local_stack)
        error("..."):
and the patch that you already suggested
    if (cur_text_section == NULL)
        error("...");
I must assume that you already know that both will equally well
not work. ;)

Sure, yes.

If it is too troublesome to pass all stuff between configure and
make, you could just write the paths into config.h directly from
configure.  Do as you see fit.

I have decided to push the patch for tcc:
   http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git/commitdiff/df9cce24

Hope you find it useful (and that I haven't messed up too much).

As a sideeffect TCC now supports colon separated strings also with
     -L and -I
which is slightly unusual but I think it is  acceptable as long
as it doesn't cause problems (which I don't see).
