gcc does not support reading the command line options from a file.
But you can do this (on Unix or Cygwin):
    gcc `cat gcc-options`

(You actually can control the options passed to gcc in a file by using
a spec file via the -specs option, but this is hard to use correctly
and somewhat unportable between gcc versions.)
