It already does.  That's exactly what the code causing you a problem
is for.  So if you don't try to work around the lack of a feature
which is in fact present, everything will just work :-)

It's configured to live in /usr/bin.  So from there it searches
../app*/lib/gcc/wherever to find cc1.  When it discovers that you ran
it from /usr/app*/bin instead (by following the symlink to the real
binary), it searches /usr/app*/bin/../app*/lib/gcc/wherever.  But
cc1's not there.
