If gcc accepts - (a dash character) as input file name, then you can
put in your makefile something like this:

cat prog.c | program-that-strips-bytes 3 | gcc -c -o prog.o -

where program-that-strips-bytes is probably dd, or whatever tool is
capable of stripping the first n bytes from a file. Of course its
command line must be adapted.

Hope this helps.
