gollark: `gcc src/host/posix.c src/*.c` works fine, so now I can "bootstrap" dale.
gollark: ```osmarks@fenrir /t/home> make dalegcc -Wall -g -c -c -o src/main.o src/main.cgcc -Wall -g -c -c -o src/err.o src/err.cgcc -Wall -g -c -c -o src/alloc.o src/alloc.cgcc -Wall -g -c -c -o src/string.o src/string.cgcc -Wall -g -c -c -o src/variable.o src/variable.cgcc -Wall -g -c src/host/posix.c -o src/host/posixgcc -o .ogcc: fatal error: no input filescompilation terminated.make: *** [<builtin>: .o] Error 1```
gollark: ```osmarks@fenrir /t/home> make dalegcc -o .ogcc: fatal error: no input filescompilation terminated.make: *** [<builtin>: .o] Error 1```now. I'll try with `make clean` then that.
gollark: Maybe I should just compile it manually.
gollark: Perhaps my copy of make is afflicted by a trusting trust attack launched by palaiologos which mysteriously breaks certain makefiles.
