I didn't preserve that with front-end specific options across C/ObjC/C++
when I did c-opts.c. I originally made it an error, but was requested
to downgrade it to a warning for a while at least. IMO the only reason
things are the way they are is that being precise (particularly in the
driver) is too hard in general. It's easy for the C family options,
so I did it.
