You still need some script hackery for objcopy and friends, I think,
that's why I didn't pursue the matter further.
Apart from that, the following entry from the specs file seems to
work (GAS does the right think with multiple --32/--64 options):
*asm:
%{v:-V} %{Qy:} %{!Qn:-Qy} %{n} %{T} %{Ym,*} %{Yd,*} %{Wa,*:%*} %{!m64:--32}
%{m64:--64} %{m32:--32}
