I agree, that must be the goal. Other flags we are about to introduce 
like -mflat will for example also have the same names as in GCC. I 
believe Daniel C. already made a patch to introduce the -mfix- flags, 
however not upstreamed or reviewed yet so until then I think we need 
this fix, unless gaisler carry it locally. If we get it accepted into 
clang we will revert this patch in RTEMS of course.
