The message about symbols which are defined twice are actually just
warnings not errors. The problem here is that tcc can't find alloca.
It's builtin function is called _alloca_tcc so you need something like
that in /usr/include/alloca.h:


--- alloca.h.orig       2007-10-26 22:59:08.000000000 +0200
+++ alloca.h    2007-10-26 23:06:54.000000000 +0200
@@ -34,6 +34,9 @@
 
 #ifdef __GNUC__
 # define alloca(size)  __builtin_alloca (size)
+#elif __TINYC__
+  extern void *_alloca_tcc (size_t __size) __THROW;
+# define alloca(size)  _alloca_tcc (size)
 #endif /* GCC.  */
 
 __END_DECLS


The extern line doesn't look right, tcc should probably know about it
internally. Anyway it works and pcc can be compiled without a problem.
