runtime memory now gets permissions (r/w/x) set per section more
accurately however this means that sections need to start on a new
memory page each (of size 4096 usually).

Can be disabled with CONFIG_RUNMEM_RO in tccrun,c.

???. tcc_compile_string() does not take any flags.

It is true that tcc_set_options() would call exit() when it should not
which is not a new problem however.

I can not reproduce this, in that generality.

In fact libtcc1.a doesn't contain bcheck.o anymore.  Therefor with
-b in combination with -nostdlib, bcheck.o needs to be added explicitly.
