[avr-gcc-list] Building avr-gcc without first installing binutils?

[Rick Mann]

This question is by no means urgent...

I'm writing a script to download and build a complete AVR toolchain,  
and I'd like to defer installation to the very end (after all the  
subcomponents are built). Right now, I'm running into the problem  
that building gcc relies on having binutils built and installed  
before gcc's make step can complete.

Is there a way to call configure, when building gcc, that would allow  
me to use the previously-built binutils without actually installing  
binutils? Put another way, can I configure and make binutils, but  
skip the install step, then configure and make gcc, having it use the  
built products of binutils?

In addition to all this? is it possible to then later install all of  
them in the specified prefix dir when they were configured?

Thanks!
