How about addressing my statement that normal programs check validity of their
options ?

How about rereading, say, 'gcc' documentation, for example, gcc-4.4.5, the
gcc.pdf, file, page 130:

"
-Xassembler option
          Pass option as an option to the assembler. You can use this to supply
system-
          specific assembler options which GCC does not know how to recognize.
".

I.e. in 'gcc' case it _clearly_ written ("You can use this to supply system-
          specific assembler options which GCC does not know how to recognize")
that 'gcc' does _not_ check validity of options passed to another program
(assembler in this case).

How about being consistent ? I mean' 'gcc' is also supported by 'sourceware'.
