If it is like the older HP-UX computers that I once dealt with, the
cc compiler was used to compile a configuration file which was then
linked to the rest of the kernel objects / libraries to make a new
kernel. The configuration file had tunable parameters and such in it.

The cc compiler itself only handled old style K&R 1 C, not stuff like
function prototypes. It was capable of compiling gcc from source.

Viel schlimmer als die Implementation von PHP ist jedoch das Design.
