I'll assume you mean translated, compiled and linked.  It's more difficult
(and probably impossible in 2.4) to do this if you're using a bound
executable.

You could define a constant and set it to zero.  Before running emake,
edit init.c (or wherever it gets assigned, maybe in one of the main*.c
files) to set the constant to 1.
