No.  However, because there are work arounds using "--with-as" or creating
the install directory path doesn't mean that the change to using DIR_UP
from the install directory isn't going to cause problems for a lot of
people.  This problem wasn't present in gcc-2.95.2 where the programs
path is:

programs: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.95.2/:/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/:/usr/lib/gcc/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.95.2/:/usr/lib/gcc/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/:/usr/local/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/bin/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.95.2/:/usr/local/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/bin/:/usr/ccs/bin/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.95.2/:/usr/ccs/bin/

On my system, "as" is in the standard location in "/usr/local/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/bin/"

Under 2.96, the directory changes to
"/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.96/../../../../hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/bin/".

Why aren't we chopping the install directory string as before?  On some
systems, ".." doesn't take you where you expect if the directory path
includes links.

Sorry I dropped the slash in creating the report.  However, this doesn't
change the fact that there is a problem.
