libgccjit when has produced the .s file has to invoke the "driver".
This is in GCC jargon the usual gcc executable that his the program that
is responsible for calling cc1 as and ld.

libgccjit can invoke the driver in two ways, one is using the embedded
one (default) or it can search for an external driver (the system gcc
executable).  AFAIU when the driver takes over the conventional logic to
identify support library is used by the linker.

Using gcc_jit_context_add_driver_option you can pass parameters to the
driver that will forward them to the linker.
