Sorry, it was mangled.  The real specs file has no '%' between these words.

The same on Owl 3.0:

$ gcc --version | head -n1
gcc (GCC) 3.4.5
build@...halot:~ $ gcc -specs=gcc-specs -E -c -
gcc: ABC is not used!
build@...halot:~ $ gcc -specs=gcc-specs -DABC -E -c -
gcc: ABC is used!

But not on Owl current with gcc 4.6.3 and on Ubuntu 12.04 with gcc
4.6.3.
