With global system gcc-5.0 if one also installs ccache (needing a different
patch
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11060
for -fplugin=libcc1plugin) it breaks as GDB will read from inferior
DW_AT_producer containing -fpreprocessed (due to ccache used to compile the
inferior).
<c> DW_AT_producer : (indirect string, offset: 0x52): GNU C11 5.0.0 20150114 (Red Hat 5.0.0-0.1) -fpreprocessed -mtune=generic -
march=x86-64 -g
It is wrong that gcc puts -fpreprocessed into DW_AT_producer - fixed it in
trunk GCCs:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-01/msg01495.html
But even with that fix there are already built inferiors out there which GDB
could be compatible (for the 'compile' mode) with.

Filter out inferior gcc option -fpreprocessed.
* compile/compile.c (filter_args): New function.
(get_args): Use it.
TBH while I always comment reasons for each of the compilation options in
reality I tried them all and chose that combination that needs the most simple
compile/compile-object-load.c (ld.so emulation) implementation.

In the end I have managed to test it by Wine myself:
$ wine build_win32/gdb/gdb.exe -q build_win32/gdb/gdb.exe -ex start -ex 'compile code 1' -ex 'set confirm no' -ex quit
[...]
Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x241418) at ../../gdb/gdb.c:29
29 args.argc = argc;
Could not load libcc1.so: Module not found.
Even if it managed to load libcc1.so (it needs host-dependent name libcc1.dll)
then it would soon end up at least on:
default_infcall_mmap:
error (_("This target does not support inferior memory allocation by mmap."));
As currently there is only:
linux-tdep.c:
set_gdbarch_infcall_mmap (gdbarch, linux_infcall_mmap);
While one could debug Linux targets from MS-Windows host I find it somehow
overcomplicated now when we are trying to get it running at least on native
Linux x86*.
The 'compile' project needs a larger port effort to run on MS-Windows.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.
