Right!

Well that seems to be only part of the problem. Trying to compile on Windows XP

with MinGW I just came to the conclusion that the Makefile content I also largely to blame.

What compiler are you using to compile tcc?

 

I've no precise idea why tcc.c requires pstrcpy:
$ grep strcpy tcc.c
            pstrcpy(child_path, sizeof child_path - 40, argv[0]);
            strcpy(child_name, target);
        pstrcpy(buf, sizeof(buf), target);
        pstrcpy(ext, sizeof(buf) - (ext-buf), ".d");
    pstrcpy(buf, sizeof(buf), name);
        strcpy(ext, ".dll");
        strcpy(ext, ".exe");
        strcpy(ext, ".o");
        strcpy(buf, "a.out");

I see it uses both pstrcpy and strcpy.

At first sight it looks pretty arbitrary! There may be some reason but it sure

does not jump out to a casual reader.

Anyway, tcc.c contains some ONE_SOURCE conditionals that should make

this whole question disappear if ONE_SOURCE was propagated properly in the 

Makefile which is not the case right now.

Working on it...
