You are right, -fsave-temps just stores the intermediate files e.g. as
builtins.i, builtins.s and builtins.o, so there is no conflict.

Nope, I just checked that: It then executes something like
"cpp builtins.c | cc1 | as > %TMP%\cc?<pid>", so I get the same problem
with overwritten temp files (actually, when it has reached ccz<pid>, it
just keeps that name).

Thanks for the hint, it's always nice to know why something fails. Does
anybody know if this is a "feature" of our emx/gcc (2.8.1) or if the
problem would also occur with gcc on a linux system?
