Glad that the concept of compiler driver gets more exposures. "The `gcc` program itself is actually not a compiler...but a compiler driver" [1] is one of my favorite things to tell newbie compiler engineers.

[1]: Clang, on the other hand, is not the case (at least the modern one). The `clang` program is a compiler driver and compiler AND assembler for majority of the platforms.
