In all seriousness, I sometimes run `/lib/ccom | /lib/c2' to
investigate some aspect of the compiler.  `/lib/cpp | /lib/ccom |
/lib/c2 | as -o foo.o' works too, on a 4BSD Vax.  (The Sun assembler
reads its input twice, and must be able to seek.  Alas!  The Vax
assembler is also two-pass, but it records its second-pass information
in /tmp files.)
