Yes, the new GCC expects it being in :

So: Why you used a different target name with GCC than with binutils?
The rule is that both the $prefix and $target values should be just the
same otherwise binutils and GCC aren't in sync!
Just make a symlink :
armv5-android-eabi -> armv-android-eabi
A typo was here, 'arm-',not 'armv-' !
in '/AFS/android-9-arm/cross219' and things should work!
There are little endian and big endian versions of the arm arch, so the
triplet needs a "b" in it if it's big endian (e.g. armv7b). I guess when
I was building the binutils I didn't realize that the arch had to match
exactly (I built them first).
Most probably 'armv5' and 'arm' will lead to just the same result with
binutils, the problem being that GCC searches at '$prefix/$target/bin'
for the bare-name tools like 'as', 'ld', 'nm',... AND the GCC configure
searches tools with a name prefix '$target-', so the bare symlink isn't
enough :(
Better to rebuild/reinstall the binutils and remove the earlier
'arm-android-eabi' ones if there is no other use for them.
I guess the configure script didn't pick up binutils assembler due to that.
Yes, tools with name-prefix '$target-' will be searched just as tools
from $prefix/$target/bin'...
