+ <para>the next command amends the GCC specs file to achieve three goals:
+ first point GCC to the new dynamic linker. Simply deleting all instances of
+ <quote>/tools</quote> should leave us with the correct path to the dynamic
+ linker. Second, let GCC know where to find the Glibc start files. Third,
+ add the /usr/include directory at the end of the default search path, so
+ that header files added in chapter 6 are found.
