The problem is that by the time the compiler sees the pragma, it's too late.
The compiler is already compiling.

What you're asking for is a buildsystem feature, such that they'd choose
different compilers or different options passed to those compilers based on some
criterion or criteria. And this is already solved: many buildsystems can scan
files' contents and apply options to it (I know CMake can).

So maybe all you're asking is a standard CMake module. I suggest you create
that and then see what can't be done with it and what's clumsy or missing.
