There is a utility on the latest C floppies  called  gencc.  This
will  allow  you  to  generate  a  cc command that does the right
thing.

On C Issue 4.2 (soon to be generally available) fpcc and  cc  are
merged and fpcc is nothing but
	cc -K mau $@

Really you ought to be able to make a cc that says the reverse.
