If there is an installed as/ld in the right place, they match.  That's
what you're supposed to do.  If you end up relying on $PATH, there's
little we can do anyway, so we have to be as conservative as we can
when configuring and as liberal as we can when running.

Not for cross-hosted builds we can't.
