  Not to remove it, but to make it *optional*, i.e. to have a fallback
  in C.
  
But wait, I think it is highly risky to even try using a command that is
for compiling C for anything else.  Didn't you say the POSIX standard
behaviour is undefined when feeding assembly files to such a command?
Then, it could delete random files, send embarassing mail, or even cause
demons to fly out if your nose?
