Hi!

Have the command line arguments that are accepted by gcc?

The test suite of the "cc" crate (used for compiling and linking to C
code within Rust projects) started failing with GCC 12 with this
error:

    gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-arbitrary'

I looked that the docs for gcc 12 (gcc-12/porting_to.html and
gcc-12/changes.html) but neither mention any change in accepted
command line arguments.
