CC is not.  LPI-cc (included in ISC UNIX 2.2) is ANSI compliant, but I
have heard bad words about it on the net. 

Probably the best answer is GNU-cc which has been ported to the 386
environment.

Yes.  Change the /etc/default/login file. (comment out the line
CONSOLE=... by adding a # at the begining of the line)  You probably
want to make the same change to /etc/default/su.
