Initially, my intention was to use TCC in order to produce small
exe. After all, this is one of the advertised properties of TCC.

Don't believe Wikipedia. The part, "produces very small
executables" is rubbish. Use your own judgment and ask yourself,
how much size optimizations can a _tiny_ C compiler have.

So now for the questions :
- Is the analysis proposed above correct ? Or need to be elaborated ?
- Is it even an objective for TCC to generate small-size exe ?
How many hundred hours of manpower can you contribute to code the
optimizations? :-)
