The idea of cc is to have one program that calls all the right programs (pre-
processors, compiler passes, optimizers, linkers) in the right order with the
right command lines.
Basically you set up cc so it 'knows' where to find your include files and your
libraries (and the executables if they're not in the PATH). Then you just type
for example:

cc -f aaa.c bbb.s ccc.o ddd.lib

instead of:

tcc $CFLAGS -Id:\tc\include\ aaa.c
mas $ASFLAGS bbb.c
tlink o=aaa.prg d:\tc\lib\tcstart.o aaa.o bbb.o ccc.o ddd.lib \
	d:\tc\lib\tcfltlib.lib d:\tc\lib\tcstdlib.lib
