Sounds like a job for automake, not gcc. I don't see anything here http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/macros-by-category.html#AUTOMAKE yet, tho.

I concur; this is not within the realm of gcc to handle by itself.


There are a number of GTK+ packages which include windres .rc files, but it takes all sorts of automake hacking to do it (all within an AM_CONDITIONAL, of course). As for packages which don't use autotools, good luck. Either way, we don't want to go that route.
