I do agree that this feature is welcome, but there is a related
problem. Autoconf, atomake and the generated gnu ./configure check
that the compiler output an a.out file if not said so. this fails
miserably with tcc, because the -o option should be before others (or
at least before source files) and because the default is to execute in
memory, not output a.out
