I'd say no, it's not.  The name "nosys" should be read at face value: it 
says that there is _no_ system assumed.   Which gives you the 
opportunity to specify the details of how the system is get up out of 
reset, by specifying your own choice of start-up file explicitly, on the 
command line. But that also gives you the _obligation_ to actually do it.

Specs files exist to assist you with tailoring the compiler and tools to 
your system --- not to assume 100% of the job for every imaginable use case.
