Default compiler flags in specs file

You can change them there --- although as it makes your makefiles have
different effects on your system than on others', you might not like to
do that.

You'd better add them in a new specs line called from *cpp:, *cc1:, and
*cc1plus:, since it should be defined before the *cpp_cpu line is
reached.

Myself, I'd prefer to use a site-config file and/or a makefile fragment.
