Take a loot at tcc_set_output_type in libtcc.c. Just add tcc_add_crt call to
link these crt files and then recompile tcc.

Thanks!  Not sure how to do that but I'm headed to figure it out. 

Also, for those struggling with an Android port of tcc that find this mailing list, there's a good explanation of the crt* files here:  http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/crt.txt

Tcc definitely can't define __GNUC__ as this means "compiled by gcc". However,
as you modify tcc to change the crt files linked in each program, you can add a
tcc_define_symbol and use the asm label machinery to define a ___RENAME
function. Check commit 2596273 for how to do a function rename. 

Then, define __GNUC__ before including anything and that might work. It might
also fail because it now compiles lots of gcc-specific constructs because
__GNUC__ is defined. If it fail you're out of luck because you probably can't
change the contents of cdefs.h.

I think this answers the question I was trying to ask, but didn't know how to.  Basically I was trying to ask how to indicate to cdefs.h that tinycc can do function renaming. 

Once again, very, *very* new to all of this.

Why is that relevant? Do you need __func__ to be defined and it's not by tcc?

Nope. Sorry about that.  In my original email I wrote that I wanted to indicate to cdefs.h that the compiler implemented C99, but I was looking at the wrong section of the code.  What I need to do is implement a function rename for tcc and define __GNUC__ as mentioned in your reply.

I assume I take care of defining __GNUC__ with -D?

Thanks again.
