If you're explicitly going for a gcc compatable command line, you might want 
to have it behave that way if run as "gcc" or "tgcc", and keep the current 
interpreter behavior if it's called as "tcc".  (Behavior varying based on the 
executable name it's called with, like gzip or busybox do.)

My previous suggestion ("tci" is an interpreter, "tcc" is a compiler) works 
too, but a) requires a behavior change, b) breaks with some makefiles that 
have the assumption their compiler is called "gcc" hardwired into them.
