 1. The actual command lines when compiling are hidden, all I see is
 `compile foo.c`. Seeing the actual command line passed to `gcc` is very
 useful for debugging.

 2. user-defined `CFLAGS` are not passed.

 3. meataxe assumes that `char` is `signed char` but that is not guaranteed
 by the C standard. This causes breakage on powerpc64le. A work-around with
 GCC is `-fsigned-char` but it's better to fix the sources.

 4. the test-suite has race conditions: testing with `MAKE="make -j48"`
 fails while `MAKE="make -j1"` works.
