Is it possible to set the search paths of -B, -L, -I etc. in the specs
file?

It is possible. It is not recommended. You should configure and install
gcc so that the search paths are correct to begin with.

There's a sticky bootstrap problem when trying to arrange a libc6
native compiler when libc6 is installed in some strange location. I
don't want to break the entire system if devel libc is unstable one
week, so I keep it in a corner of the filesystem.
The goal is to have a compiler driver that can be switched between
libc5 and libc6 with -b options. A first approximation is available
by editing the specs appropriately and adding some symlinks. That
compiler can then be used as BOOT_CC to 3-stage a native compiler, but
I don't see how I get out of editing somebody's specs -- there is only
one compiler driver, and it will have one or other set of paths
hardcoded.
Or is there some easy way to do this that I'm overlooking?

Yes. Note, however, that the specs are not an interface that you can rely
on remaining unchanged in future versions.
AFAIK the only documentation we have on specs is the comment in gcc.c that
starts:
Specs are strings containing lines...

You can set -L and -I. However, you cannot set -B, -b, or -V which are handled
directly by the gcc command.
