anyone interested in helping fixing the 'tcc' compiler ?

Hi,
I have recently started playing with the Tiny C Compuler (lang/tcc)
which is amazingly useful for prototyping, but has problem generating
non-static binaries in FreeBSD -- basically it produces a bogus
elf file which our loader does not like.
Static binaries work fine, as well as 'tcc -run ' (compile
and run on the fly -- you should really try it if you haven't yet).
There is an open PR on this
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=138481
and the problem is known upstream but no fix
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2005-07/msg00070.html
However, from the description it does not seem a horribly
hard problem. Perhaps someone with a bit of knowledge on
how our ld-elf.so works should not have a hard time pinpointing
the problem so that other people can fix it ?
Any takers ?
cheers
luigi
