So it sounds rather unlikely that TCC doesn't support ARM.

tcc supports multiple targets.  On Linux, if you build from source using
"--enable-cross" as an argument to "./configure", it will build (as of
the latest version) 12 different compilers:

    arm-tcc
    arm-wince-tcc
    arm64-osx-tcc
    arm64-tcc
    c67-tcc
    i386-tcc
    i386-win32-tcc
    riscv64-tcc
    tcc
    x86_64-osx-tcc
    x86_64-tcc
    x86_64-win32-tcc

"tcc" is equivalent to "x86_64-tcc", matching the system I built it on.

I note that there are 4 ARM variants.  I don't know enough about ARM
CPUs to know what useful variants might be unsupported.
