Wasn't this explained to you Shawn, that the build scripts/makefile needs
correcting so that you can do exactly that.

I'm no expert in this but it seems to me that there is no reason why the 3.1.1
translator cannot deal with building the front-end code in theory. I think that
the problem at the moment is that it also tries to pull in standard library files
from the v4.0 area instead of the v3.1.1 area. To get around this behaviour there
is some manual messing around, but I believe that Matt Lewis is looking into the
build script issue. Plus this only applies to the initial build of 4.0 by 3.1.1
translator. Once you have a 4.0 executable, subsequent builds are not an issue.

Of course, the back-end is already written in C so that doesn't matter. 

There is presently a limited number of C compilers supported but the two main
ones that are easily accessible are GCC for Linux and OpenWatcom for Windows.
