Well, even if gcc did use pipes, DOS itself uses temporary files to
store the data in a pipe, so there would be zero net gain in speed.
Perhaps under a multitasking shell like bash, supporting -pipe might be
an option, but until bash becomes both more stable and more universal,
it's not worth the effort.
