Not unexpectedly, this is completely as it should be.

I wouldn't describe this as a "corrected" specs file; "adjusted" would 
be a better description, (although "banjaxed" may be a better fit, in 
this instance -- with apologies for this departure into my native 
Anglo-Irish vernacular).

Thanks, this makes the problem fairly evident.  Notice how the spec 
for "*msvcrt_version" hasn't been correctly parsed, but rather it 
appears to infiltrate the "*msvcrt:" definition, (and then it, and 
everything following it, seemed to be discarded from the collect2 
invocation, as reported by `gcc -v' in your earlier post).

You don't say, but I'm guessing that you copied-and-pasted content 
from the web page examples, directly into your specs files?  Sorry, I 
should have anticipated that.  By doing so, you have introduced stray 
white space, particularly on those mandatory blank lines -- you need 
to make sure they are *really* empty.  (I've now added a note to this
effect, on the web page).

Again, we see the same effect, with the "*msvcrt_version:" and 
the "*moldname:" specs being subsumed into the "*msvcrt:" definition.  
Once again, you need to ensure that those mandatory blank lines are 
really empty, in your msvcr80 specs file.
