The idea was launched long ago my many people: the wrapper was about
working around compilers that refuse working like the others.  It
includes:

- renaming files before compiling them when the suffix is not accepted
- coping with bizarre exit values (such as the present case)
- extracting the dependencies (done by depcomp now)
- etc.
