The 0.9.26 release was in Feb 2013 and a lot has changed since
then (I can't recall if x86-64 and/or multilib systems were
supported properly then).

You may have better luck using the mob branch from the git repo
directly (the 0.9.27 release _may_ happen soon-ish):

   $ git clone git://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git
   $ cd tinycc
   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ make test
