This is what the mips backend does currently, just via specs files. If
you want to see just how bad this is in general take a look at
gcc/config/mips/isa3264.h. That was a first attempt at doing this in a
general way - and doesn't work. As I'm trying to donate additional mips
targets I run into many instances of this, all different and all not
sufficient. :)

A specs replacement where I could use C to define what is passed would
be wonderful :)
