I got the darn C compiler working, by hand, by applying sed against the source 
code and my old friend "process of elimination".  Current to-do items of mine 
include:

A) Clean it up to use "--host" and "--target" (where possible).
B) Cross-compile for arm, ppc, and x86_64 and test the result under qemu.

When I do this, I mean to write up a howto.  Feel free to remind me, to-do 
items tend to get buried on ye olde list...
