There is no override of the spec file going on.
Again when a program is executed via the specs, it goes through the
find_a_program function and that does the following:
#ifdef DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER
if (! strcmp (name, "as") && access (DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER, X_OK) == 0)
return xstrdup (DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER);
#endif
Which says if the program name matches exactly "as", and the DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER
is defined and has executable access return DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER.
So your patch should have been a nop really as DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER should have
been used for "as".
Can you show exactly how it was failing before and add -v to the command line
too?
