If I'm understanding you here, it sounds like I want some way for the
preprocessor to detect the presence of the -E option.
I'm not seeing any way to do this, though. As far as I can see, the -E
option behaves exactly like a normal compile - it just stops after the
preprocessor.
I suppose a slightly less kludgy solution to my problem might be to add
something like -DPREPROCESSOR_ONLY to the the "heapgeninc.tcl" and
"target.ld" rules.
