Yeah, it looks like you're right (I'm no expert on the spec language either).

Given that no-one else has spoken up and there doesn't seem to be any other
easy way to do it, your patch is okay for the trunk if you add a comment in
libgcj.spec.in explaining what is going on. Also, I think it would be better
to call the configure variable LIBSPEC instead of LIBORIG.
