It's already implemented as far as I know:

    <option name="c_compiler_options" value="..."/>
    <option name="link" value="..."/>

You can try reducing the amount of garbage generated, and hence
put less stress on the GC. I try to do that on all the Gobo tools,
even gec. This is one of my primary goals during the design phase.
The net advantage is that these tools can run even without the GC.
