Geoff,
   What I don't understand is how Apple's compiler can parse the
-bundle as the first argument and the gnu gcc compiler can't.
Shouldn't the same mechanism Apple uses to allow this to work
be backportable into gnu gcc?

My suggestion, if you're interested in fixing this, is to read

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-12/msg00736.html

No. There's lots of stuff in Apple's compiler that isn't written portably enough to work in GNU GCC. and fix the problems I mentioned there in the patch that Devang submitted, and submit a fixed version.
