'v up' fails due to missing libgc.dylib #79 - medvednikov/vq

Describe the bug

When running 'v up' I see an error message stating "Library not loaded: @rpath/libgc.dylib".

Reproduction Steps

Run command 'v up'.

Expected Behavior

I expect v's source code to be updated then the v binary being remade.

Current Behavior

I see this error instead:

dyld[3902]: Library not loaded: @rpath/libgc.dylib Referenced from: /Users/user/Documents/Development/Projects/Vlang/V-source-code/git-repo/v/cmd/tools/vup Reason: tried: '/Users/user/Documents/Development/Projects/Vlang/V source code/git-repo/v/thirdparty/tcc/lib/libgc.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/user/Documents/Development/Projects/Vlang/V source code/git-repo/v/thirdparty/tcc/lib/libgc.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/X11/lib/libgc.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libgc.dylib' (no such file), '/libgc.dylib' (no such file), '/libgc.dylib' (no such file) Abort trap: 6

Possible Solution

I suggest enable static linking of libgc. This pull request should fix the problem: https://github.com/vlang/v/pull/26695.
