gcc will not build

Well, I do of course have the file, since I need it to compile just about
anything, including dozens of things in gcc before Make finally crashes.
But it is apparently not where the Make needs it to be.

Regular compiles access this file via the path specified in my gcc
specs file.  Make in this case is intentionally using a specs file of
its own creation which does not include the path to this file (or to
anything else that it needs).  So where is the error?  Is Make using
the wrong specs file?  Did it create a wrong specs file?  Have I
failed to tell the build process where my libc stuff is?  Or is there
some location requirement for crt1.o that I haven't met?
