Issue created by Kinsey Moore: 
https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/tools/rtems-source-builder/-/work_items/218



## Summary
This is something I've internalized since quite some time, but presents 
complications for users accustomed to other GCC distribution methods. 
Typically, a compressed archive of GNU tools such as those provided by Linaro, 
etc. can be unpacked to an arbitrary location and used there without issue. 
RTEMS tooling is locked to a given prefix and will not work properly outside of 
that.

Since RTEMS tooling is locked to a prefix, it cannot be moved or unpacked to a 
different prefix without recompiling the entire tool set which could take hours 
on some systems.

Is there a particular reason we do not build GNU tooling in a relocatable form?
