it seems both problems are caused by this line:
typedef unsigned long mp_word __attribute__((mode(TI)));

when i remove the attribute, GCC exposes the exact same behaviour.

so if tcc doesnt support this attribute (from [1] TImode - "Tetra Integer" (?) 
mode represents a sixteen-byte integer (128bit type)), wouldn't it be better to 
err out during the compilation, than generating unexpected code?
