MSYS2 is available as both 64 and 32 installs, and both can compile either 32
or 64 bit applications. The instructions I linked to in my first reply will get
you a 32 bit application (tcc).

tcc 0.9.26 is few years old and a lot of progress was made since, but no
official release was made since then - and it's only available as source code.
There are some talks of 0.9.27 getting released soon (TM). You can find the git
repository from this page: http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git and the current
zipped snapshot is

tcc 0.9.26 can probably compile itself with the instructions I linked to
earlier (after you git checkout the 0.9.26 tag), but you probably want to build
the latest source instead which has many fixes and improvements over 0.9.26.

config.h is created when you run the configure script, and includes
configuration which is specific to your system (e.g. whether it's a windows tcc
or linux, and more). Again, the instructions I linked to would result in
exactly what you want - latest tcc 32 for windows.
