Btw, do we even really need the extra variables for compiler flags
to remove?  Don't gcc/clang options work so that if you add a
no-prefixed version of the option later it transparently gets removed?

Unfortunately, not all of the relevant options can be no-prefixed:

$ cat float.c 
int main(void) { volatile float f = 123.456; return f / 10; }
$ aarch64-linux-musl-gcc float.c
