u-tcc-uepj, Is there a git repository of the pcc?
Comparing pcc and pcc 1.2.0.DEVEL 20141206:

1) pcc don't have __linux macro defined
2) a test program (with strays)
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    /* comment with stray handling *\
/
       /* this is a valid *\/ comment */
       /* this is a valid comment *\*/
    //  this is a valid\
comment
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}

pcc -E -C test.c -o test.i && cat test.i
int main()
{
    /* comment with stray handling */

       /* this is a valid *\/ comment */
       /* this is a valid comment *\*/
    //  this is a validcomment

    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}

tcc -c test.c -o test.i | cat test.i
nt main()
{
/* comment with stray handling *\
/
       /* this is a valid *\/ comment */
/* this is a valid comment *\*/
//  this is a valid\
comment
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}

tcc output is closer to the source text
pcc can not conpile produced test.i. and tcc can..
