Why not? I have done that in the gcc specs file before. You can add 

%{!rcheck-sections: -no-check-sections}

to LINK_SPEC. Then you can do

# gcc ...

it will pass -no-check-sections to ld. When you do

# gcc -rcheck-sections ...

-no-check-sections won't be passed to ld. BTW, `r' is one of the
safe letters you can use for this purpose.
