Correct. 3) is the key ie: it ensures sanity. Steve's way will work too.. but then you'd have to ensure that GCC was always called as `gcc -specs=tempfile' which is way too fragile. BTW, if you're careful, the above general technique also works flawlessly for GCC-3.4.x. That way you can have a cmd that works identically for both GCC-3.4.x and GCC-4.x. See the DIY temptools adjustment for an example. By using -dumpspecs, you can also lose the SPECFILE variable as there is no need for it thus simplifying the cmd even further.
