util/crossgcc: Allow building a new gcc against new binutils with -D
With -D, the newly built toolchain isn't installed into $prefix/...
but into $DESTDIR/$prefix/... while being built for $prefix alone.
This is useful for distributions, but it breaks down when the build
host already has the toolchain installed in $prefix without proper
build isolation (cf. gentoo):
In such cases libgcc etc are built using the new compiler (as gcc's
build system is smart enough to state the path explicitly), but that
compiler then uses its regular algorithm to determine the path to as,
ld, ...
That makes it use the tools from $prefix, which might differ in formats
(assembly, certain object file flags, ...): nds32le-elf in particular
has rather unstable formats still, and so new compilers can't work
with old binutils.
The approach to deal with this is to take an unused path that's
specified by gcc's build system ($out/gcc/$arch/$version) and symlink
it to the new toolchain - these explicitly given directories take
precedence over the default search path, and so the new binutils
are used.
