Now, I fixed that, plus the ARM signed char test, plus some other
stuff.

Also, I removed the win32/Makefile (thanks to Christian's OK),
and the VIP patch (it is just not how it should work), and the
-iwithprefix option (what was the point without -iprefix).

Moreover, there is
* a patch to tccelf.c to avoid DT_TEXTREL unless really required
* a nifty one in tccasm.c to avoid the 'p3' forward label from
  alloca86_64.S being put into dynsym with a relocation (huh?)
* and the (sig)set variable in tcctest.c was made static to
  avoid some issue with inline asm that I didn't try to fix
* no diff -I option anymore to make tests work with busybox
* a patch to tccrun.c for better selinux support.

With these changes, tcc now seems to build and pass all tests
cleanly on Alpine musl x86_64 standard-grsec and vanilla too,
configured with
   ./configure --config-musl --with-selinux
optionally also with
   --disable-static and/or --cc=tcc (once it was installed)

Patch is here:
http://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/commitdiff/da8c62f75d893449e232944fc62566c020b4d010

You might realize that I bumped the 'master' branch too, which
is meant to mean:
    "This could be what we could release as 0,9,27, soon"

Say next week or so, last-minute-fixes/features notwithstanding.

Thanks,
