I submitted a patch, now tcc silently compiles .h as a C source code which is also what gcc does.
C.

Subject: [Tinycc-devel] Proposal to allow tcc to compile header files
I've noticed some programs (eg strace) fail to compile with tcc because they try to compile a header and tcc fails with "unrecognized file type". Compiling the header as if it was a ".c" seems like a safe thing to do and is a simple patch.
Any objections/concerns? I'm not trying to defend/encourage the act of compiling headers, but would prefer to not have to patch all the offending packages if it could be avoided.
