[LLVMdev] Does DragonEgg support parameters like -fno-builtin in clang?

dragonegg just uses the same parameters as gcc.  However -fno-builtin has no
effect (this is a bug) because it is surprisingly tricky to get the appropriate
information from inside gcc.  To be more precise: it's not too hard to set up
something that works OK for C, but then it works poorly for Fortran and Ada.  I
didn't yet come up with a scheme that works well for all languages.

Ciao, Duncan.
