Is binutils allowed to use $(prefix)/i686-pc-mingw32 directory?

I'm building a cross-compile toolchain for Fedora, and I've come
across the possible problem that binutils places files under
$prefix/i686-pc-mingw32
eg:
Start from upstream binutils-2.18.50, then:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--build=i686-gnu-linux --host=i686-gnu-linux --target=i686-pc-mingw32
make
make install
will create /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin directory.
The FHS[1] doesn't say anything about being allowed to create this
directory within /usr so I'm wondering what standard allows this, and
whether this is the right directory to use.
Rich.
