We are having problems using gcc with our old sun makefiles because
some of the command line options for gcc are different than for sun's
C compilier.

Is there a front end processor for gcc or g++ that will take sun C
command line options and translate them to gcc options.

Specifically, we're having dificulty when we try to use the sun C
-fswitch option with gcc.  This is supposed to check the machine for
floating point hardware and at run-time select the right calls for
floating point operations.

Thanks in advance.

-Eric.
