Ignoring the cross stuff, if this is all you need I would suggest calling 
make in the right way to generate this script.  We'll use a fake 
"compiler" for making cc1 which does nothing else than appending its 
command line to your compile script.  Hence, create a script 
collect-stuff.sh with this content:

-------- snip ----------
#!/bin/sh
echo stdcomp ${1+"$@"} >> /tmp/compile
-------- snap ----------

Now we'll call make so that it only tries to make cc1 with this compiler 
to collect the commands:

% cd gcc
% make CC=collect-stuff.sh cc1

/tmp/compile will now fill up with the commands to use.  If you don't need 
the various options, also add "ALL_COMPILERFLAGS= ALL_CPPFLAGS=" to the 
make command (might be other variable names in the old 4.x compilers), or 
amend the collect-stuff.sh script to not echo them.

Remember to clean the build dir before doing this as otherwise some .o 
files aren't remade.


Ciao,
Michael.
