libgcj uses specs and the -specs= switch.  This isn't an actual
requirement, in that it could be switched to any mechanism that keeps
things working.  I think it is definitely easier for us to have a text
file for this sort of thing than to build it into gcj itself.  Also it
is a bit nicer to have all the configury code in libgcj, near where it
is used, than to have it in gcc.
