Research direction
Start by reading the linked 0.22-cmdline-gcc-opts.patch and then inspect flexlink's command-line handling. Identify how gcc-like options should be forwarded and how the same behavior should be generalized for MSVC; done means both compiler families receive the intended options without breaking existing linking.
