The only thing about gcc that I can think of as presumably slowing it down
other than its optimisation and generality, is its use of the temporary files.

I can't see a good way to avoid this without a massive redesign of gcc (in
DOS this is, no -pipe here :)

AFAICS, all the other `unix-isms' which DJGPP supports are simply in libc or
whatever, and are just linked in at the end.
