Well, Herman, "latent" I guess is the word describing best the
situation.

From what people wrote so far one would think there is something
wrong with the assembler that it would not see a missing ':' colon.

Howeber what you obviously found out but did not tell with any
single word is that tcc does not see it because it doesn't even
start to process the file.

Now if you could find a solution that at least *tries* to explain
something, for the other people, I mean. ?
