It doesn't build executables either.
Only the "-S" option is used.
With that restriction, GCC merely reads a bunch of text files and
writes a text file, and thus is amenable to being a pure C90
application. That's how it manages to work at all.

It so happens that MVS/380 has the ability to be run in batch, and
extracting the exit code won't be a problem either.
Note however that I normally do all my GCC work in Windows,
and the batch running etc is done with batch files.

I have a large backlog of work to do with the i370 port already, starting
with getting gcc 3.4.6 running natively. Isn't that a more productive
thing to do? Even after 3.4.6 is done, so that every scrap of code is
available, then there's version 4 to do!
