I've just checked, and I have a few cross-compilers (for testing purposes) where I configure binutils and gcc with the same --prefix, and don't use --with-as or --with-ld, and GCC finds the right assembler and linker. So do you need to change anything in GCC? Can't you just not use --with-as and --with-ld if they are causing problems?
