You mentioned that binutils was installed into $prefix, but you did not 
use $prefix when configuring gcc.  That is generally a mistake.  You 
must use the same --prefix configure option when configuring both 
binutils and gcc.  Otherwise, the cross gcc may not be able to find the 
cross binutils.  Also, you want to put $prefix/bin on your PATH, but you 
mentioned that you did that.

You can debug the build problem by adding -v to the compiler command 
line that failed, and then looking at the output.  It will probably say 
that gcc called "as", but the first as on your path is the native 
assembler, not the cross assembler.
