12 What would it do if a gcc-specific option is used for which the real
13 compiler does not provide any option, even with a different name? If
14 it would ignore it, things would break horribly (just think of
15 -funsigned-char). If it would error out, are any options other than
16 those already specified by POSIX (`man 1p c99`) available on all
17 systems? (If not, no gcc-style frontend is necessary, because the
18 options are already the same for all compilers intended to be
19 usable as a (Unix-like-)system compiler.)
