I am sorry but this is an insane take. The probability of GCC going haywire with your special snowflake correct C code? Please. Have this EVER happen to you? I am not talking about the performance of the generated assembly because that IS flaky, but functionality wise I do not think so.

If people are so confident about the determinism of LLMs, or at least consider it on par with compilers, please ask it to compile your source code instead. Better yet, replace all your GNU utils with LLM instead. Replace your `ls` with `codex "prompt"`.

I have done this, alias codex --yolo -p . It's very helpful not having to remember every odd command and its parameters. It's a bit more typing but I type faster than invoke and scan through man pages.
