If you build and install binutils using the same --prefix as used for gcc, then gcc will automatically find that binutils and use it. You don't need combined trees to make this work. If you do still like combined trees, then I'd suggest putting binutils and gcc into the same dir, instead of placing binutils into gcc, and then add a simple Makefile that will configure, build and install binutils and then likewise for gcc.
