 I tried some possible variations and places too, but as you wrote, they
don't work... The must be something special in the 'W' or something...

 Weird, my gcc-2.95.3, gcc-2.9-edk1.0 and gcc-3.0.3 manuals all have the :

Spec Files		How to pass switches to sub-processes.

in the "Invoking GCC"-menu... But I may have copied the text from the two
others into the 'gcc/invoke.texi'. Some time someone wrote the documentation
for the 'specs' file. Maybe it happened after gcc-2.95.x, but the newer
sources include this section. Anyway the docs didn't help to solve this
problem.

Cheers, Kai
