I don't get this part of the plan.  Where a host compiler will look for 
mkoffloads?

E.g., first I configure/make/install the target gcc and corresponding mkoffload 
with the following options:
--enable-accelerator=intelmic --enable-as-accelerator-for=x86_64-unknown-linux 
--prefix=/install_gcc/accel_intelmic

Next I configure/make/install the host gcc with:
--enable-accelerator=intelmic --prefix=/install_gcc/host

Now if I manually copy mkoffload from target's install dir into one of the dirs 
in host's $COMPILER_PATH,
then lto-wrapper finds it and everything works fine.
E.g.: mkdir -p 
/install_gcc/host/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/accel/intelmic/ &&
cp 
/install_gcc/accel_intelmic/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux/4.10.0/accel/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/mkoffload
/install_gcc/host/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/accel/intelmic/

But what was your idea of how to tell host gcc about the path to mkoffload?

Thanks,
