I don't see what the problem is supposed to be. Yes, the arguments are
strings - they describe how one option that the user might pass on the
command line is exactly equivalent to another that they might pass (up to
and including the latter form of the option being the one that is used
when matching specs and multilibs, because the driver does the
translation, including working out the canonical textual form of the
option, before processing specs against the command line).
If -Wstrict-overflow on the command line is equivalent to
-Wstrict-overflow=WARN_STRICT_OVERFLOW_CONDITIONAL on the command line,
then specify WARN_STRICT_OVERFLOW_CONDITIONAL in the parameters. If it's
equivalent to something else, specify something else.

That seems reasonable.
