The real fix would certainly be using cpplib directly from gfortran instead of
calling cc1 for this purpose.  I don't think implementing this will be
difficult, and the maintenance headaches would be much smaller than if we kept
an option list in the specs files.

Cool!  As a word of caution: I assume the patch will be large and not trivial,
so it will probably have to go through a few rounds of review, please don't be
discouraged by it.
