Using TinyCC to compile binutils fails in 2.39+

It seems to not be the case.
After configure, bfd/config.h has

/* #undef TLS */


However, the issue could be me using TCC as a drop-in replacement in binutils root configure with:
./configure CC=tcc


Kind regards,
Ludvig

I think we have a bug here.  I'm guessing your bfd/config.h has
#undef TLS

If that's the case then we ought to have

#ifndef TLS
#define TLS
#endif

before uses of TLS in bfd.c
