I think it means that we read the gcc sources enough to know that gcc parsed
that option, but not enough to know what gcc did with it...

Sorry, since -isysroot takes an argument, this should be

       gcc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk "$@"

(or put whatever you need in the argument to -isysroot).

Seems like a reasonable idea, I will try it! With pump mode I would
