You probably could.

Probably not. I would just run GCC with appropriate options and
see if it works. Unfortunately the "appropriate options" may not
be easy to determine. Check the sources for a suggested command;
it may be in a comment at the beginning or the end of the source
code. (Note that Emacs can automatically pick up on this sort of
thing for use with say "M-x compile" when it is formatted
properly; for instance, all of Donald Becker's network drivers
have such suggestions at the end of the source code.)
