I have never seen the '$target-as' (for humans) being used by GCC,
what you claim would be really "new behaviour" !

The $prefix and $target values SHOULD be the same for both binutils and
GCC configures, then GCC would find its aimed '$prefix/$target/bin/as' !
And the human user would get the '$prefix/bin/$target-as' in use if ever
needed..

With sane configures you would get what you need, of course the $prefix
is common for the whole toolchain: binutils, GCC and possibly GDB too!
