    I'm aware of the synchronous writes issue, but again, my /tmp is
    a ramdisk, and gcc is using /tmp for it's temporary files (I
    checked), and it should only be writing one file per source file,
    so I shouldn't be getting NEARLY that much disk chattering.

perhaps try using `cc -pipe' which makes gcc use pipe's between
cpp/cc/as parts, rather than temporary files.
