Those files are generated by the Translator on the step
before that.

The interpreter front-end is written in Euphoria and
is translated to a bunch of C files. Then, rather than
using emake, imakeu compiles those front-end files and
links them with the hand-written backend files, be_*.c.

Any C files, that start with "be_" are hand-written
back-end C files. Any other C files are probably
generated by the Translator. Look at the top line.

The build process is very incestuous 
In various places:
  - the interpreter is used to run the translator.
  - the translator is used to build the interpreter.
  - the translator is used to build the translator.
