You can use c68 as your standard C compiler.
I never use ACK, everything (OS, library, commands,....) is compiled
with c68. You will get much shorter compilation times and quicker code.

The c68-compiled library (with the floating point functions) is as long as
the ACK-compiled library, I remember it is slightly shorter. The floating
point stuff is only some bytes.

A cc.c that supports c68 was posted with c68, Version II, patchlevel 5.
It is trivial, you can do it by hand.
The commands to generate for compiling, say, source.c, are:

/usr/lib/cpp source.c > /tmp/TEMP_FILE_NAME.i
/usr/lib/c68 /tmp/TEMP_FILE_NAME.i /tmp/TEMP_FILE_NAME.s
rm /tmp/TEMP_FILE_NAME.i
/usr/bin/as - /tmp/TEMP_FILE_NAME.s -o source.o

You need not change code in cc.c, just change some table entries.
