Instead, people can wrap GCC in shell scripts, use site-config files,
use automated build infrastructures... we already *have* ways to do
this, some with all the downsides of a .gccrc: the only advantage
is that things like specs files are ill-documented, so people don't
mess with them unless they know what they're doing.

Fundamentally, what we want is `gcc -v' output :) don't the bug
reporting guidelines already ask for this?
