I've talked with volodya on IRC and the following link seems to be the 
starting point:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Response_Files

I verified that it work with gcc-4.2 on linux (cross-compiling for arm ;-))

The latter would be appropiate or we drop support for elder gccs. Not a wise 
move, in my opinion.

I'm on vacation now, but hope to have time for a solution next week(s).

Yours,
