libgcj uses specs and the -specs= switch. This isn't an actual
requirement, in that it could be switched to any mechanism that keeps
things working. I think it is definitely easier for us to have a text
file for this sort of thing than to build it into gcj itself. Also it
is a bit nicer to have all the configury code in libgcj, near where it
is used, than to have it in gcc.
