No, opts-common.c should not have special cases for individual options 
like that.  The canonical form has the separate arguments.  gcc.c has a 
special case for how it passes this option to subprocesses; if you have 
problems with some output from gfortran involving -l options, you should 
change the gfortran driver as needed so it outputs -l options in a 
different way.

Your subject refers to orig_option_with_args_text while your ChangeLog 
entry refers to canonical_option.
