Searching configured and relocated prefix.

GCC,

We currently search both the relocated compilers prefix and the
originally configured prefix. Should a relocated compiler be searching
both directories?

Does anyone see a need to search *both* the configured prefix and the
relocated prefix?  You can end up finding things you don't mean to find,
you can get NFS time-outs, etc.

However, the strategy above will break situations where people expect to
find some of their bits in a directory indicated by GCC_EXEC_PREFIX, and
the rest in the configured prefix.  

Cheers,
Carlos.
