You've also forgotten the yacc file in cc. It still doesn't topple
the chart:

; wc -l /sys/src/cmd/^(cc 8c 8l)^/*.[chy]|grep total
29908 total

What should be compared is a C++ compiler and the associated
libraries. Especially in C++0x! :-P

What is the total of all the compilers, assemblers, and linkers put
together?

; wc -l /sys/src/cmd/^(?c ?l ?a)^/*.[chyl] /sys/src/cmd/cc/lexbody |
grep total
143174 total

lexbody is used by the assemblers.

; wc -l /sys/include/*.h | grep total
