As far as I experienced the binutils stuff (as, ar, ranlib etc.) are expected
in the <prefix>/<target> directory. For example if you are building for a
m68k-coff target and set your prefix directory to /opt/crossegcs, then the
cross assembler, linker and so on should reside in /opt/crossegcs/m68k-coff
(or /opt/crossegcs/m68k-coff/bin... not sure any more...). Placing the stuff
into a "binutils" directory just one level above the build directory (as one
would expect after reading the configure and Makefiles) works for ar, ranlib
and so on but doesn't work for the cross assembler.
