Configurable compiler arguments [imported]

Original description

Please add a preferences setting that adds arbitrary compiler options (default empty).

Why?

It is impossible to do anything slightly more than basic without this, e.g. change compiler options, define macros, pass some options/values to libraries (there is not enough code space to do this at run-time), or add "-I.".

The inability to have any influence over the rigid IDE build process forces me now to ditch the IDE because I see no way for it to get the job done. :-(

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?

No.

@cmagile, why close this issue? It seems very relevant to me, in order to allow changing buffer sizes and other compile time options for libraries?

Ah, forgot to check the original issue. Thanks for pointing it out :-)
