This is because libgloss.exp:get_multilibs (used from g++_init) runs xgcc 
($compiler) without -B, i.e. without any prefix.  Without prefix there is no 
way to determine where the specs files are located.

Patching driver_self_specs to read a specs file by means of -specs= is, well, 
not very common.  I don't know any other target which does that.

As a work-around you can run the tests against the installed compiler.

Denis, what do you think?  I could add yet another fixme to avr backend like 
the following; that way there's no need to change dejagnu:
