The updated M2-Planet has some code generation improvements, so the hash of these executables is different. Only for x86, but I suppose other architecture will also need updated checksums.

This URL is wrong. It seems the .tar.gz files produced by github cannot be decompressed with the ungz (at least I wasn't able to), so what I did was download the .tar.gz file and then unpack it manually.

In general, you shouldn't rely on GitHub producing tarballs on the fly - GitHub's archive generation isn't guaranteed to be deterministic. It's better to make your own tarball, and upload it as a release artifact.

Context
Pnut-exe was recently made compatible with M2-Planet, with this PR working-around certain incompatibilities with M2-Planet, and oriansj/M2-Planet#161, oriansj/M2-Planet#162, oriansj/M2-Planet#163 extending M2-Planet. Since pnut-exe can bootstrap TCC, it means there is now a path from hex0 to TCC passing via pnut-exe.
This PR is a proof of concept to show how this can be done for x86 while keeping the tcc-0.9.26 checksum the same.
The main benefit of using pnut-exe is reduced bootstrap times, the time to reach tcc-0.9.26 goes from over 10 minutes to around 1 minute (with the steps involving pnut taking only a few seconds).
