Thanks, revised and shorter version below.  Please take another look when ready.

----------
Omit OPT_cpp_ from the DWARF producer string in gfortran.

Gfortran uses -cpp=<temporary file> internally, and with -grecord_gcc_switches
this command line switch is stored by default in object files.  This causes
problems with build and packaging systems that care about gcc binary
reproducibility and file checksums; the temporary file is different on each
compiler invocation.

Fixed by adding a new opt marker NoDWARFRecord and associated flag, filtering
options for this this setting when writing the producer string, and setting
this flag for fortran -cpp=<temporary file>

Tested for fortran (suppresses -cpp=...) and c (no effect).

gcc/ChangeLog
2012-08-24  Simon Baldwin  <simonb@google.com>

	* dwarf2out.c (gen_producer_string): Omit command line switch if
	CL_NO_DWARF_RECORD flag set.
	* opts.h (CL_NO_DWARF_RECORD): New.
	* opt-functions.awk (switch_flags): Add NoDWARFRecord.
	* doc/options.texi: Document NoDWARFRecord option flag.

	* lang.opt (-cpp=): Mark flag NoDWARFRecord.
