I don't see how the existance of configure changes the fact the GCC
compiler driver exists, is capable of running and as and ld, and is
supposed to know where they are.  It even does PATH-like searches.
Why not just fix it so it runs the correct version of as and ld directly
during the bootstrap process?  Add an a "--use-bootstrap-binutils" flag
or a "--with-ld=<file>" flag to the compiler driver, that way the newly
built compiler driver can directly execute the version of ld and as the
current makefile hack is trying to force it into running.
