You'll need full paths, not just the input file name -- ie, it is possible
to have "foobar.o" appear multiple times like
gcc -o blah foobar.o frob/foobar.o
Which brings up questions like what are valid characters -- filenames could
have embedded spaces, control chars, etc etc.
I mildly prefer the sequence #s approach. But I can live with either.
