In either case, the "proper way" to make things is with a Build System.

It sounds to me there's an opportunity for someone to create this "one line build system for trivial projects". It seems like it will be very popular.

The difficulty with that is the large and diverse set of toolchains in existence. Doing this requires knowledge of individual toolchains.

If implementors would like to get behind a universal-c++(-and-c)-driver effort and contribute changes needed for their implementations, then perhaps something like this could be possible.
