The Xassembler and Xpreprocessor options don't work. They accidentally pass
options to the linker in addition to the assembler and preprocessor.
For example, on linux, the assembler ignores the -D option, but the linker does
not. If I try using -Xassembler to pass the -D option to the assembler, I get a
linker error.
aretha$ ./xgcc -B./ -Xassembler -D tmp.c
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-D'
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Adding the -v option confirms that -D got passed to both the assembler and the
linker, which is wrong.
The -Xpreprocessor option has the same implementation as -Xassembler, and hence
the same problem.
