Well, I'd suggest -Wl,-pesubsysver=... (with "pe")

However in order to avoid complexity you could as well hard-code some
version as you see fit (preferably with some comment):

    #ifdef ARM
        /* needed to make it work on system/device XYZ: */
        ...
    #else

Again I doubt that 4.0 is (or was) a WinCE version that tcc (rsp.
the author(s) of the PE-WinCE port) wanted to support explicitly.
(see for example http://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/commitdiff/b7d7af4fa20f)

Also chances are that the only one person actually using tcc for WinCE
since quite some time is ... you.

Therefor a compile-time "#ifdef TCC_TARGET_ARM" might do as well for
now.  You can still add commandline options later if really needed.

Simply push: http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git

(Descriptive commit messages what which does on what system are always
welcome of course ;)
