Sorry to revisit this...

According to the GCC docs, GCC should not be changing the input file type of
object files. See "-x language" topic at
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Overall-Options.html#Overall-Options.

If the document is accurate and I am parsing it correctly, then -x only applies
to:

    c  c-header  cpp-output
    c++  c++-header  c++-cpp-output
    objective-c  objective-c-header  objective-c-cpp-output
    objective-c++ objective-c++-header objective-c++-cpp-output
    assembler  assembler-with-cpp
    ada
    f77  f77-cpp-input f95  f95-cpp-input
    go
    java

In the end, I know you are right. So I guess that explains why I thought -x
applied to source files, and not object files.
