Why?

I can link Fortran and assembler routines with my C code.  Why would
X3J11 have anything to say about that other than "Good Luck" ?

Once things are in machine code, how would the pANS apply at all?

Waitasec...  _Is_ there a prohibition in the pANS that says that one
can't use a full set of object-libraries, one that provides all of the
required routines, each with conforming behavior, that were compiled,
say, with SNOBOL?
