You might also consider using LLVM or libjit for that purpose.
http://llvm.org/ http://www.gnu.org/projects/dotgnu/

With TCC, you have to generate valid C syntax. Both LLVM & libjit 
provides you with a higher level API (different one in LLVM and in 
libjit) to build some internal representation of the generated code, and 
then have it translated to machine code.

You might also consider GNU lightning.

For libjit, use the CVS since it is working on AMD64.

If you really are interested in generating C code from Lisp, look at 
bigloo, stalin, chicken, and my MELT work on GCC.
