   I have a directory '/usr/local/gnu' that I keep all the gnu

In gcc's Makefile, you named a "libdir".  Make things named
$libdir/gcc-as and $libdir/gcc-ld that do the right things.  In my
case, /usr/local/lib/gcc-as is a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/gas,
and similarly with /usr/local/lib/gcc-ld -> /usr/local/bin/gld.  That
way, people can invoke gas and gld directly from their $path, and gcc
can invoke them at the appropriate times during compilation.
