Take a look at the section of gcc/Makefile.in beginning "# Various ways of
specifying flags for compilations:" and go from there.

Well, for your own personal purposes, you can do whatever you like, but it
is part of the coding standard that all gcc code should be bog-standard C90,
so that it is possible for end-users to build gcc on any machine, even a very
old one with a very old compiler.
