Whether opt-in or opt-out, it would be nice to have this in tcc. I guess 
the downside is more complexity in tcc.

I built Femtolisp as a non-trivial mixed test (gcc/tcc):

https://github.com/JeffBezanson/femtolisp

I specified tcc as the compiler for its separate static, low-leve 
library in "../llt/Makefile" and kept gcc in "./Makefile" for the rest.  
I was able to compile and successfully run the test suite with this 
mixed situation, using "ar -M" and a small MRI script to archive the 
low-level library with tcc.  Libtool might have been another (better?) 
option to generate the static library.
