Of course that would be a better idea.

An even better idea would be to listen to the advice he gets on the 
newsgroups he posts to.  A few gcc options are all he needs to handle 
everything automatically.  However, he is convinced that his plan is 
good no matter what anyone else says.  I just hope he is joking about 
the need for security or secrecy in his code - or that someone else 
involved realises what whatever the question might be, this guy's 
approach is not the answer.
