What is it, where did you get it, how did you get it?
To a certain extent, things can be legally reverse-engineered without
permission (example: you can read the linker table from a dll to
figure out what symbols it provides, do research on those symbols
online, & use that to create a replacement dll), but there are also
restrictions (you cannot normally convert a dll into assembly code,
and base your replacement on THAT, because the binary machoine code is
not considered 'public', while the linker tables have to be public to
work at all).
Depending on where you got it, and how, it might be something that
CANNOT be added to TCC.
I say all this because "extracted from an early Windows XP DLL" makes
me suspicious.
