The reason to have pcc generate .8 or .v or .2
or whatever rather than .o is that we use it to
build for multiple architectures in the same
directory, just like 8c or vc or 2c, etc. 
See for example the gs or tex build
processes (or don't; they're ugly).

I think what you were looking for was 
ape/psh and then you can use CC=cc
which will generate .o's.
