Arrrgl!
Thank you guys, I missed this step:
.\bootstrap.bat
No issue then with tcc, except this warning:
In file included from src/w32/subproc/w32err.c:19:
./src/makeint.h:393: warning: WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN redefined

To fix it, you may want to add:
# ifndef WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#  define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
# endif

I see.

The snapshots created by Savannah are simply copies of the current HEAD
of the Git repository: it's the same as cloning the repository except
you don't need Git itself.

For these types of snapshots you must build it as if it were a Git
clone, following the instructions in the README.git file.  See the
section:
