Try replacing your tccmake script contents with this:

#!/bin/sh
[[ -f /usr/lib/libc.so ]]&& mount -o bind /mnt/us/tcc/tcc.libc.so /usr/lib/libc.so
[[ -f /usr/lib/libpthread.so ]]&& mount -o bind /mnt/us/tcc/tcc.libpthread.so /usr/lib/libpthread.so
tcc -I/mnt/us/tcc/include -o $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $1.c
[[ -f /usr/lib/libc.so ]]&& umount /usr/lib/libc.so
[[ -f /usr/lib/libpthread.so ]]&& umount /usr/lib/libpthread.so

Does that work for you?

EDIT: Bind mounts like I show above are MUCH safer than making changes to root that could break an OTA update (possibly bricking the kindle).

Hmm the above method of completely replacing the libpthread.so file actually solved the problem

Thanks geekmaster ... Your method works without modifying the actual library files
