The canonicalization is an internal convention, except where GCC is passing options directly to tools not included in GCC such as the linker. I chose separate as the preferred canonicalization on the basis of POSIX generally only having the separate forms of operands. It looks like the issue is not in fact how the driver passes -I options to gnat1 but how gnat1 internally reconstitutes an argv array from decoded options for use by the Ada parts of gnat1 that expect such an array. So I'm testing a patch local to the ada/gcc-interface code that only adjusts that reconstitution, only for -I. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45499
