Unfortunately, there is currently no way for doing that as far as I can 
see.

Such functionality would also be helpful for passing on GCC-style flags 
picked up from pkg-config et al. – see e.g. 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/1594, although we'd need 
widespread host compiler support before we could rely on something like 
that.

For your particular use case, however – in a controlled and very 
specific situation –, wouldn't a small wrapper around the GCC binary 
to supplant the necessary arguments work just as well? If GCC doesn't 
work without any additional arguments, this is arguably a bug anyway.
