[Bug other/32998] -frecord-gcc-switches issues

------- Comment #2 from bkoz at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-08-06 16:16 -------

thanks for adding this bug report here and ccing me.

Is there an easy way to separate out the include and link (-I, -L) bits from
the macro defines and compiler option flags? Could the just the include bits be
put into one string?

When doing this does it make sense to define the base_dir and then use it as a
substitution instead of putting in absolute addresses everywhere? This might
cut down on size.

This seems like a pretty smart strategy for getting this in.

However.... can you expand on your comment above? What do you mean by "have
access to the entire command line options table?" Would you dump the entire
table?
