People can and do rename the $target-$name binaries, not to mention the
use of the --program-prefix, --program-suffix, and
--program-transform-name configure options. Those names also don't have
to be in $prefix/bin, they just have to be on PATH somewhere. gcc has
to be able to find cc1/cc1plus somewhere, otherwise it can't do
anything. It uses a relative path from that directory to get to
$prefix/$target/bin/$name. See unlibsubdir in the gcc Makefile.

I'm not sure why we don't install a gcc binary in that directory for a
native gcc. As far as I know we do install the required binutils
there.
