The only way to modify the command line would be to remove
-pedantic-errors.  If you use -pedantic-errors, you are asking to
compiler to give you an error for anything which is pedantically
incorrect.  #ident is pedantically incorrect.  There is no option for
"all pedantic errors except this particular one."

If you insist on -pedantic-errors, then you need to modify the source
code to remove the #ident directives.
