It looks for it in the libraries: search path printed by `gcc
-print-search-dirs'.  It can be modified by setting LIBRARY_PATH,
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX, or running gcc with a -B switch.  All of this is in
the GCC manual.  The manual just fails to explicitly say that the
specs file is looked for in the libraries search path, but, since
specs is not an executable program, you could probably infer this from
the rest.
