Cool! Giving it a try...



Meanwhile: I decided to get rid of paths in as/ld invocations
by specifying as/ld names without any paths:

--with-gnu-ld                                   \
--with-ld="$CROSS-ld"                           \
--with-gnu-as                                   \
--with-as="$CROSS-as"                           \

and it works, I only need to patch configure to not "test x $with_ld"
as that won't work.

I tested in and it works.

The patch is below. Do you think it makes sense?
