If you want to switch back and forth between native build and cross build,
that doesn't solve anything. x86_tools$sylogin.com does more to your
environment than just modify the command tables (i.e. sets logicals and
DCL symbols).

I had the problem that my build creates an executable that needs to be
run as part of the build. The MMS file had to recognize when I was in the
cross build environment, then selectively undo the changes to the CC and
LINK commands in order to get a native build of just that image.
