It needs to end up in a list of arguments, and it's not needed at all
as I only need the version. I guess I could do (cc + " -v").split()
but eh.

Well, as I mentioned a while back, you cannot schedule parallel
blocks, there is no worksharing involved. All a parallel block does is
executed a code block in however many threads there are available. The
scheduling parameters are valid for a worksharing for loop only, as
you schedule (read "distribute") the work among the threads.
