Actually it is odd. The MinGW version disassembles using the Windows
objdump, but the tcc object file doesn't. I think this is because it
doesn't recognize the code as actual code. It recognizes it as text
strings, meaning it is probably in the wrong .section.

There are significant differences in the object files. Actually gcc
produces better code, for example automatically taking advantage of
sign extension features of the processor, and tcc uses a long jump in
one place and a short jump in the other, where gcc uses a short jump
in both places.

Some of the opcodes used for some of the assembly instructions are
also different, though this may not actually be an issue.

One significant problem is an entire assembly instruction is just
omitted. That is the instruction to set esi to 0. I'm betting that is
the real issue, as it would yield uninitialised data problems.
