My gcc 2.95.3 manual says:

       -pipe  Use pipes rather than temporary files for  communi-
              cation  between  the various stages of compilation.
              This fails to work on some systems where the assem-
              bler cannot read from a pipe; but the GNU assembler
              has no trouble.

so it looks like we can't use it on all platforms without testing.  I
will enable it for linux.  Do people want to test other platforms?
