-c says "don't link", so using -c with -fno-code seems redundant.

Using -c with -fno-code still outputs interface files.

But -c is redundant with -fno-code, right? It doesn't change the behaviour. If you're not generating any object code, then saying whether you link or not is moot - you can't.

Having -fno-code as a mode also means that '-fno-code --make' and
'--make -fno-code' are very different.

I don't quite understand - wouldn't those combinations both be illegal if -fno-code were a mode?

Not that I'm suggesting -fno-code should be a mode. It's a strange flag, for sure.

The '-fno-code' is actually referring to two different flags.
