FWIW, I'd be on board with a proposal for a "trivial build system"
interface to be supported in various toolchains with the same command
line and options. Maybe we can even convince our toolchain vendors to
include such a tool. I think focusing on the compiler executable
specifically as the one having to implement that is a mistake.
