similar  problem ?

linux 2.6.35-22-generic
tcc version 0.9.25

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
char *pollo= "ppooo";
printf("%s", pollo);
return 0;
}

calling tcc -b (mem/ptr bounds checker) fails :
tcc: undefined symbol 'memset'
tcc: undefined symbol 'memmove'
tcc: undefined symbol 'memcpy'

whitout -b, it works fine. why ?

TCC fails to bootstrap on recent version on Linux for failing to
support 'i' relocations (see below)
A similar problem arises when trying to use TCC to 'finalize'
Eiffel projects (that use a C generating backend)

The bootstrapping issue on x86_64 Linux is due to a GNU extension, the missing linker symbols:

tcc -o tcc tcc.c -DTCC_TARGET_X86_64 -O2 -g -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign -lm -ldl
tcc: undefined symbol 'strlen'
tcc: undefined symbol 'strchr'
tcc: undefined symbol 'strrchr'
tcc: undefined symbol 'strcpy'
tcc: undefined symbol 'strcmp'
tcc: undefined symbol 'memcmp'
tcc: undefined symbol 'strncmp'

are 'i' not 'T' symbols in libc.a:
<man nm>

 "i"  For PE format files this indicates that the symbol is in
      a section specific to the implementation of DLLs.  For ELF
      format files this indicates that the symbol is an indirect
      function.  This is a GNU extension to the standard set of
      ELF symbol types.  It indicates a symbol which if
      referenced by a relocation does not evaluate to its
      address, but instead must be invoked at runtime.  The
      runtime execution will then return the value to be used
      in the relocation.
 "T"
 "t"             The symbol is in the text (code) section.

 nm -A --defined-only /usr/lib/libc.a | grep strcpy


/usr/lib/libc.a:strcpy.o:0000000000000030 T __GI_strcpy
/usr/lib/libc.a:strcpy.o:0000000000000030 t __strcpy_sse2
/usr/lib/libc.a:strcpy.o:0000000000000000 t __strcpy_ssse3
/usr/lib/libc.a:strcpy.o:0000000000000000 i strcpy
 <--- 'i' not 'T', hence not picked up by TCC
/usr/lib/libc.a:string-inlines.o:00000000000000c0 T __strcpy_small
/usr/lib/libc.a:strcpy_chk.o:0000000000000000 T __strcpy_chk

Fixing this will entail an upgrade of the TCC linker (and possibly a TCC runtime upgrade as well)
