Not quite right; it looks like you intended to have a trailing - instead
of 0; and if you are trying to filter out bad characters, then you need
* on both sides of the [!...] list:

--cross-cc-*[!a-zA-Z0-9_-]*=*)

otherwise you are only filtering out bad characters immediately before
the first =.  There's also the question of whether I can spell both
'--cross-cc-FOO=BAR' as one argument and '--cross-cc-FOO BAR' as two
arguments; this is filtering out only the one-argument case.
