Yes.

And the problem is that specs is in the GCC distribution, while
libc_p.a, if we decide to distribute one, will be in djdev.

What I was saying was that these two changes must be in sync,
otherwise users will have broken installations.  At the very least,
we must release djdev with libc_p.a first, and modify specs some time
after that.

Until these two changes happen, users will have to make manual
changes in their configuration files, so this is not something we
could recommend to the general user.
