Will using shell wrappers noticably slow down calls to gcc? Or should

Gentoo does the equivalent of the latter.)
I don't think speed itself will be a problem, unless the scripts are
really naive and involve lots of forks. However, as I noted before,
scripts cannot be invoked from non-Cygwin programs.
...but doesn't the script itself involve a fork? On a big project, with
an extra fork for every source file, that can still add up.
