binutils and gcc question


Hi!  I was wondering *when* the binutils used by gcc
get moved into the /{gcc install}/{machine}/bin
directory (at least on linux)?

When I issue the "gcc -print-prog-name" command (with
gcc-2.95.2) I get "/usr/i586-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld" as a
response.  My compiler is installed in /usr/bin.  I
noticed when I install binutils updates, that they do
NOT get installed in the same place as the binutils
used by the compiler.  However, when I issue the same
command using a gcc-2.96 snapshot, I get "ld" as the
response and I presume that /usr/bin/ld is the linker
being used.

Are the binutils used by release versions of gcc
copied to the "/{gcc install dir}/{machine}/bin"
directory during gcc install or isthat part of the
binutils install?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Peace.....

Tom
