 The fake gcc will choke on trailing backslashes in arguments, like
 -Iinclude\ or -Llibs\. `realgcc` handles them fine. It seems to insert as
 spurious quote or terminating a quote too early.

 Error message:
 {{{
 .\test-ghc.c:1:20: fatal error: test-inc"/header.h: Invalid argument
 compilation terminated.
 }}}
