I looked at this patch.  I don't think it's correct.  I have these  
areas of concern:

- It seems to be specific to '-o'.  There are lots of other joined  
options, -o is just one of them.

- It appears to be changing the design of gcc.c with respect to the  
way that joined options are handled, but it only changes one place.   
Since joined options mostly work now, there must be many other places  
which still rely on the old design.

I think that a correct patch would either change the design  
completely, or would preserve the existing design and change the  
deletion logic to handle joined options properly.
