FWIW, although it sounds like it's no longer relevant here, I prefer to
avoid extending the
  enum gcc_jit_str_option
and
  enum gcc_jit_int_option
enumerations, in favor of adding new API entrypoints, for the ABI-
detection reason given here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/topics/contexts.html#options

i.e. "Adding entrypoints for each new option means that client code
that use the new options can be identified directly from binary
metadata, which would not be possible if we instead extended the
various enum gcc_jit_*_option."

It's great to have new contributors to the project.

Andrea: FWIW, the FSF requires some legal paperwork before I can accept
non-trivial patches; see:
  https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal
If you're hoping to send non-trivial patches, it might be an idea to
look into that (unless you already have the FSF paperwork in place?)

Thanks
