	Turns out that gcc.c as distributed allows you to redefine
	STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX to be any directory you want.  It
	will check there and in /usr/local/lib 	for startup files, not
	in /usr/lib.  Unfortunately, most system startup files live in
	/usr/lib, so unless you define STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX to be
	/usr/lib, you'll lose.  I changed the line in gcc.c

	char *standard_startfile_prefix_1 = "/usr/local/lib/";

	to read 

	char *standard_startfile_prefix_1 = "/usr/lib/";

	This way I can specify my own startfile directory, without
	losing access to the system startup files.
