Note that gcc ignores PATH when searching for as/ld/etc. It's safest to
use --with-as/--with-ld when configuring. (Probably gcc needs to be more
careful than blindly trusting --with-gnu-as and --with-gnu-ld.)

You can keep using Sun's tools as long as they are supported. But there
may be some good reasons not to. One is that g++ tends to link smaller
exectuables with GNU binutils. Another is debugging: DWARF2 is now the
preferred debugging format for gdb (do Sun's btools handle DWARF2? I never
tried).
