STARTFILE_PREFIX_SPEC was added to fix-up the problems with multi-libed
targets but turned out there was a better way to fix the problem and was
basically unused within 4 months.

The last use was removed (which I cannot find the gcc-patches message for):

        * config/mips/linux64.h (STARTFILE_PREFIX_SPEC): Remove.

This patch removes STARTFILE_PREFIX_SPEC and I will close PR 19353 as
willnotfix.  OK? Bootstrapped and tested on powerpc-darwin.

The patch is OK.

I'm not online, so I can't look at the PR you reference, so I cannot comment on that.
