Hello people,

	Just thought i would mention this to see if a fix is around.
	If by mistake when using gcc version's 1.40 and 2.2.2
	you accidently add the option -Wid-clash-len as

	"-Wid-clash-len(some number)"  instead of
	"-Wid-clash-(some number)"

	it seems that the error is caught but also causes an infinite
	loop.

	That is with 1.40 an infinite loop of
		"gcc-cc1: Invalid option `-Wid-clash-len20'"
	occurs and with 2.2.2
		"cc1: Invalid option `-Wid-clash-len20'"

	Please no flame about that it is my mistake etc etc i know that
	but a simple error like this shouldn't cause such a problem
	in my opinion.
