Yes, it feels icky... But those flags are usually very limited in their
use; currently they're used only for '-pipe'.

However, with Michael's other patch, it becomes possible for the user to
pass arbitrary flags. But the use case is limited, and focuses on generic
flags. Eg. disabling SSP or fortify, which is documented in the help entry.

In this case, it's pretty much harmless, I guess...
