The toplevel configure script sets the default machine dependent execution
prefix, and the MD files can override this.
# Determine a target-dependent exec_prefix that the installed
# gcc will search in. Keep this list sorted by triplet, with
# the *-*-osname triplets last.
md_exec_prefix=
case "${target}" in
# ...

For the assembler and linker, you should be able to use the configure switches
--with-gnu-as=<path> and --with-gnu-ld=<path>.
