That's pretty standard distutils functionality. I'm pretty sure that on
M$Windows it would invoke its C compiler, not gcc.

I wrote "fred.c" to get closer to the case you mentioned, but obviously that
function can very well come from a library.

Python, and Cython surely is one option to accomplish that.
