Metal C is an alternative to assembler in some situations, particularly where the overhead of setting up LE is a problem, and also not needed.
If you want to use it as an "assembler replacement", then you'll need to avoid pulling in header files generated for LE C. If you want to use Metal C, then you live with its restrictions and limitations. IBM won't and can't make it work just like real C. And btw, you didn't answer Peter Relson's question: "... does its presence cause you harm?
