 The problem is config/linux.h defines CC1_SPEC before config/mips.h is 
included and as a result the latter does not redefine it.  I feared 
changing "#ifdef CC1_SPEC ... #endif" to "#undef CC1_SPEC" would break 
other targets -- there are too many of them and the dependencies are too 
scattered for me to dare fiddling with this macro (proof-reading is futile 
and testing every configuration impossible).  At least this change is 
guaranteed to affect only Linux.  But I would encourage you, as the 
maintainer, to get a more consistent general arrangement and I can do 
testing for configurations I have access to.
