Your question is off-topic in this newsgroup.

You should try and ask on the gcc-help mailing list.
http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html

The following switches might be what you're looking for... or not.

-v
Print (on standard error output) the commands executed to run the
stages of compilation. Also print the version number of the compiler
driver program and of the preprocessor and the compiler proper.

-###
Like -v except the commands are not executed and all command
arguments are quoted. This is useful for shell scripts to capture the
driver-generated command lines.
