Comment (by felixs):

 > MF is at least not politically correct.
 Exactly, that's why i dont like it. on second thought it cannot cause
 problems, if -MF (gcc) translates to -F (cython, unused) and -M (gcc) will
 be implemented as -M (on cython side, currently unused).

 clearly, -MF will be interpreted as -M -F but not with a different
 meaning.
 For gcc "-M -MF <file>" is also equal to "-MF <file>". thats the same with
 the other -M[A-Z] options as far as i can see.

 I would favor wasting the -F short option to implement gcc-style, rather
 than choosing new option names for well established functionality. but my
 patch needs to reflect that, and allow "-F" as well.

 unfortunately i'm not the one who will decide, so i will have to contact
 upstream about it.
