gcc doesn't accept specs options anymore

[Joel Sherrill]

FWIW RTEMS has long used BSP provided spec files from the command line. We have issues with using them in that they are a clear place where we depend on something that is compiler specific. But we do use them. If the support for the -specs option suddenly disappeared, we would have a problem.
