Environment variable to pass in options?

[Louis Marascio]

Is there an environment variable that can be set that will pass command line
options to the compiler?  I know that that HP compiler aCC has a CXXOPTS that
you can set which will pass options to the compiler and place them at the
begining or end of the command line.  The passing is transparent and does not
show up on the actual command line as well, which is why I want to do this.  I
have an extremely large set of include directories which I would like to be
able to consolidate in an environment variable to reduce the clutter on my
screen when compiling.  Thanks for any help ...
