"More or less".  I used a sequence something like (it's been a long
time):

	cc -E foo.c > foo.i
	edit gcc'isms out of foo.i
	ccc -c foo.i
	cc -o foo foo.o

for some simple test programs.  As Greg mentions, our standard headers
have too many gcc'isms.

That part works fine - it just generates ELF objects that happily link
with the standard libc, etc.
