Never mind. It must tell it where to get the
"-specs bsp_specs -qrtems"
since bsp_specs file is in dir pointed to by -B<path>.

Can anyone explain what bsp_specs file is for and/or how it is used. 
Does this always need to be on the gcc command line when a application 
file is compiled or assembled?
