Well, how about we forget about gcc then and concentrate on something else->
How about turning Small C (available from one of the UNIX sources archives,
can't remember the name of it at the moment) into a "semi-large" C??  
This would include a preprocessor, the compiler which generates assembly code
which can be assembled either as interpreted code or native 6502/816 code via
macros... ideally, it should be able to use any macro assembler, but if not
we could settle for Orca/MPW...   What do you think of this idea??  if it works
we my have a reasonable C compiler for the Apple-> hopefully it will also
work on plain old //e,c's as well...
