Jim raised an issue on a call today. These tests are built to be LSB
conforming applications. This means you need to have the correct program
intepreter on your system. The symptom is that tcc doesn't run.

The solution is to install whatever package is provided by your
distribution to provide the LSB environment. Typically, this package
name is some variation of '*lsb*'.

An alternative is to just make a couple of symlinks (which is what the
package typically does).

For x86:

cd /lib
ln -s ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb.so.1 # for LSB 1.3
ln -s ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb.so.2 # for LSB 2.0

For ia64:

cd /lib
ln -s ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb-ia64.so.1 # for LSB 1.3
ln -s ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb-ia64.so.2 # for LSB 2.0

For x86_64:

cd /lib
ln -s ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.1 # for LSB 1.3
ln -s ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2 # for LSB 2.0


and so on for ppc32, ppc64, s390, ad s390x.
