I'm pretty sure I've used MinGW to generate executables that small, although that was probably 16 years ago. Try to pass -s to GCC and don't use -g to get rid of symbol tables and debugging information. Most of the time TCC generates more code than GCC, especially when GCC is called with -Os. The linker of MinGW might enforce different section alignments than TCC. But that should add less than 10 kB of padding, regardless of the code size.
