My gcc 2.95.3 manual says:

-pipe Use pipes rather than temporary files for communi-
cation between the various stages of compilation.
This fails to work on some systems where the assem-
bler cannot read from a pipe; but the GNU assembler
has no trouble.

so it looks like we can't use it on all platforms without testing. I
will enable it for linux. Do people want to test other platforms?
