I and some of my coworkers have occasionally created ancilliary 4- and
5-line specs files, and use those to augment the defaults.  Usually we
use them to turn on /boatloads/ of extra warnings, but occasionally we
need some weird -f/-m flags turned on (and we can't modify the makefiles
for other reasons).

Then it's just "gcc -specs=.../philspecs" or "gcc -specs=.../bobspecs"
or, etc.
