I had to deal with this a few years back when I had to support a Minix
system.  What I did was add some rules to Gnu Make (an include Makefile
would have been just as good) which took my ANSI code that I wrote
and tested with gcc, and created .m files which were files with K&R
C code suitable for compiling on Minix.  Thus I was able to develop
and, compile and test on my gcc system in the environment I was used
to and just spit out the files needed by the Minix compiler when I
was done.  Deansification does not have to be a major operation.
