No, try gcc -Os

The tcc built with gcc -Os is also about 43% faster on my
Atom 330 at compiling and linking itself (0.37s vs. 0.65s, median of 51
runs).

You missed the second half of the reason I gave. I also mentioned that it's because GCC is itself bloated. So using GCC is not an option. It requires MinGW to run in Windows (I'm a Windows user), so that means that using GCC by itself is simply not an option, because it won't run without its MinGW dependencies. This makes GCC very bloated (over 100MB in size), and thus not a viable alternative to TCC. Also, what is this " command line option you talk about in GCC?

The simple solution would be for you (or another developer of TCC) to just add a command line switch that when used causes TCC to not use the __stkchk function, and thus remove the requirement for this function to exist, and also prevent TCC from adding any extra code to the program's main code to call this function.
