GCC used to rely on external .spec files a long time back, but, now
they're built-in (which you can override with with `-spec=' after
dumping with `-dumpspecs') using header files.

For NetBSD/x86 ELF:

/usr/src/external/gpl3/gcc/dist/gcc/config/netbsd-elf.h
/usr/src/external/gpl3/gcc/dist/gcc/config/netbsd.h
/usr/src/external/gpl3/gcc/dist/gcc/config/i386/netbsd-elf.h
/usr/src/external/gpl3/gcc/dist/gcc/config/i386/netbsd64.h

(I had to fiddle with them to get `-pg' working with shared
libs...)
