If you're using bash (and possibly some other shells), it's easier to:

{ print "..."; printf "..."; } > blah.tmp
{ print "..."; printf "..."; } | gcc ...

i don't know if that syntax works in Bourne-compatibility mode.

Yes, I see the advantage here. However this is almost exactly what I have... Except doing it with variables make it more transparent...

PFOPEN:={ print "
PFBR:="; printf "
PFCLOSE:="; } |

$(PFOPEN)...$(PFBR)...$(PFBR)...$(PFBR)...$(PFCLOSE)
