There is a tcc library for runtime code generation. From the docs:

   The libtcc library enables you to use TCC as a backend for dynamic
   code generation.

   Read the `libtcc.h' to have an overview of the API. Read
   `libtcc_test.c' to have a very simple example.

   The idea consists in giving a C string containing the program you
   want to compile directly to libtcc. Then you can access to any global
   symbol (function or variable) defined.
