'gcc' in fact uses the "specs" to locate everything. You can dump the
specs [-dumpspecs], modify your local file, and use those specs
[-specs=filename].
In fact, the --with-as/--with-ld/--with-gnu-as/--with-gnu-ld are flags
to configure for the build, and do not seem necessarily to force 'gcc'
to use these once it is compiled. I could be wrong about this. But
the specs file was the same both with and without these flags, and they
allowed for finding both GNU binutils [if there, and after a
"bootstrap" make] and traditional Sun CCS utils.
