I'd say that this patch looks more like someone's personal easter egg,
or at least you missed to explain why you would recommend other people
to use an install structure as you do as well, what the benefit is over
the one that they already have, and how they are supposed to create it,
preferably automatically I'd assume...

Other than that it is already possible to install the tcc executable(s)
in a custom separate location, for example like

        ./configure --tccdir=... --bindir=...

which is supposed to set CONFIG_TCCDIR explicitly and thus override the
run-time automatism under libtcc.c:98: #ifndef CONFIG_TCCDIR.

By the way, from

    "As a general rule, your messages should start with a single line
     that’s no more than about 50 characters and that describes the
     changeset concisely, followed by a blank line, followed by a more
     detailed explanation."

     (with also no more than about 50-70 characters each line)
