Hi,

as discussed in threads around
	[PATCH v2 1/2] compile: set debug compile: Display GCC driver filename
	https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00909.html
	[PATCH v3 2/2] compile: Add 'set compile-gcc'
	https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00915.html

here is new libcc1 API proposal, before it gets (re)implemented and posted to
GCC.
