Wasn't that one of the features of Berkeley Pascal?
Yes - had extensions for that so: compiling to *.o and using external
libraries was possible.
man pc will describe the -c switch pc was the hooks into the pcc system
for the vax, but I'm not sure if it was backported the PDP-11. It was
moved to the 68k by a couple different teams, including Sun for SunOS.
Maybe Larry or Rob G can answer if they ever moved it to SPARC. By that
time, they had there own compiler suite and may have started to abandon
anything based on pcc.
