It would be really nice if the generated -std argument was prepended instead of appended to the user-provided arguments. I have a codebase that requires __GNUC__ to be set and __STRICT_ANSI__ to be unset in order for the correct typedefs to exist. Because this extension forces gcc to report its definitions for an ANSI standard, I am unable to get that combination of definitions (and there also doesn't seem to be any way for me to manually undef __STRICT_ANSI__).

The only workaround I've found is to pass bogus arguments to the compiler so that it errors out and doesn't report any definitions at all. Then, I can set the ones I need manually.
