I guess I didn't make it clear.  GAS didn't know a r4600 target,
so the only way is to edit the spec and tell gcc when it has some
directive like "-mcpu=r4600" it has to transform it into "-mcpu=r4000".
I tried that yesterday and it worked, just add the

"%{mcpu=r4600:-mcpu=r4000}

in your asm_spec.
