>From my own experience, being familiar with awk is not really needed. You just
need to figure out what C++ code you want to generate (options.c, options.h)
and how it will interact with the rest of GCC. I will suggest that you actually
prototype your changes directly hacking options.c and options.h, then you
modify the awk scripts to generate that code. Modifying the scripts is not that
complex, just printing the right things at the right place (probably our awk
scripts can be very much cleaned up and optimized but it hasn't been an issue
so far).
