It will if it can deal with the flags that burt sends to what it thinks
is called 'cc' you might have to write a shell named cc that strips off
the -E flag.

The new one should compile with gcc.  However, I still have zero clue
why burtrb needs anything from X... the gooey thing obviously needs X
stuff, but the command line stuff sure shouldn't.
