It's not so much the concept, but I think you greatly underestimate
the complexity of the task. Standard C simply doesn't have the
expressive power you need, so you will end up basically reinventing a
C compiler; and the end result not only won't work as well as a
gcc-integrated solution, but will be even more work to implement in
the first place.

Of course it's your time to spend as you like, and if hacking C
parsers is your idea of fun, by all means go ahead. But if you are
looking for ways to help Wine, doing just about anything else would be
more productive in the end IMO.
