You can play symlink games to make it appear as if you had installed binutils
with the same prefix.  The key is to make sure that the GNU assembler appears
somewere early in the "programs" path printed by gcc --print-search-dirs.

Because that kind of functionality is not in the egcs-1.1.1 release.  Future
releases will have this kind of functionality.
