Tsk, tsk. You are forgetting about the -X182 option to cc :-) : 

.c.o:
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -S -c -Wc,-X182 $< | as -o $*.o 

I saw this in some encore makefiles once. I sure don't bother, but now
that I've been reminded... Also worth looking at perhaps, are the
(apparently obsolete) "-A" and (apparently preferred) "-q
nodirect_code" options; They seem also to fork off processes like
crazy.

After all, the more processes you use, the sooner it'll be done. 

Right? :-)
