libgc.a for macos is built without -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 breaking macos pre-12.0

[codyps]

Right now, using tcc (built from git) on macos 11 (or anything prior to 12.0) will fail with:

ld: warning: object file (/Users/x/d/v/thirdparty/tcc/lib/libgc.a(gc.o)) was built for newer macOS version (12.0) than being linked (10.7)
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "____chkstk_darwin", referenced from:
      _GC_forward_exception in libgc.a(gc.o)
      _GC_mark_thread in libgc.a(gc.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang-11: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This is resolved by rebuilding libgc.a and passing the -mmacosx-version-min=10.7, which matches what v itself is passing to tcc internally.

This specifically affects https://github.com/vlang/tccbin/tree/thirdparty-macos-amd64

I've worked around this locally by manually rebuilding libgc.a with these commands (from the tcc repo):

cc -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 thirdparty/libgc/gc.c -c -o gc.o
libtool -static -o thirdparty/tcc/lib/libgc.a gc.o

(tangential relation to vlang/v#16386)

@jmesmon , what magic did you use to get tcc compiled on MacOS? :-) I'm struggling with the libc missing. I run the latest MacOS 13.

The build succeeds:

But the tests do not:

I get the same "library 'c' not found" error when trying to build examples.ex1.c from the tcc repository. I can compile it to the object file, but I cannot link it.

There's neither /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib nor /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib on my system. I found the .tbd files, but they're not enough for tcc:

❯ find /Library/Developer -name libSystem.\*
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.tbd
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B_asan.tbd
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.tbd

❯ find /Library/Developer -name libc.\*
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/include/libc.h
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/lib/libc.tbd

I tried both branches - master and mob. The error is the same...
