There seems to be plenty of precedent for --argument=value in GNU ld, but the documentation says:
Arguments to multiple-letter options must either be separated from the option name by an equals sign, or be given as separate arguments immediately following the option that requires them. For example, --trace-symbol foo and --trace-symbol=foo are equivalent. Unique abbreviations of the names of multiple-letter options are accepted.
I always use the space, personally, so I'd be pretty confused by the dummy option handling; how about supporting that too?
It's much harder to do that in gcc though, and it's not really consistent with gcc option handling, which usually enforces the "--arg=value" form. I thought it would be confusing to support "--arg value" in one but not the other, especially given that the interface is identical otherwise.
