It can be *whatever*; the spec shouldn't make any promises.  I was
planning on implementing lsbcc as a gcc spec file, but that's not
critical.

We may want to provide ld and ar ones as well, though I doubt it. I don't
think folks should ever use ld directly, and ar is extremely independent
of the build environment.
