I don't know if it is the best way of doing it, and I don't know if it
is portable enough to every system, but the naive way of doing that
probably could be to store the program arguments in yet another
globals, e.g.

  extern int toplevel_argc;
  extern char** toplevel_argv;
  int
  toplev_main (int argc, char **argv)
  {
    expandargv (&argc, &argv);
    toplevel_argc = argc;
    toplevel_argv = argv;
  ....

I do agree that this is perhaps not satisfactory. What I would dream of
is an object wrapping the entire GCC application process (e.g. like the
QApplication class of the QT toolkit). But that would require a big change.

Cheers.
