In this case yes, a future use case could be to support another
compiler with different option names, but I suppose we can focus
on the present for now.

I considered that, but was reluctant to change current behavior,
though in practice it shouldn't make a difference.

One option could be a variant of the try-run macro, that receives the
'base command' as first parameter:
try-run-opt = $(shell set -e; \
TMP="$(TMPOUT).$$$$.tmp"; \
TMPO="$(TMPOUT).$$$$.o"; \
if ($(1) $(2)) >/dev/null 2>&1; \
then echo "$(2)"; \
elif [ -n "${3}" ] && ($(1) $(3)) >/dev/null 2>&1; \
then echo "$(3)"; \
else echo ""; \
fi; \
rm -f "$$TMP" "$$TMPO")
__cc-option = $(call try-run-opt,\
$(1) -Werror $(2) -c -x c /dev/null -o "$$TMP",$(3),$(4))
try-run-opt assumes that is is valid to append an option to the end
of the base command.
For consistency we'd probably want to adapt other suitable xx-option
macros as well.
Does this look reasonable to you?

I agree, running the check for the alternative options always is not
desirable.
