Aaah. I've not thought of that (or ever used it for that way as the case
may be - learn something new every day).

I don't think you see what the problem is, as I was mentioning to Neil,
take a look at gcc/config/mips/isa3264.h for the handling of this. That
spec file is absolutely unmaintainable and doesn't work either. :) This
makes multilibs that set pointer size untenable. I'm willing to look at
making cc1 spit out a .i file, but it seems that it makes more sense to
do this than not.
