Actually, that would be unfortunate, because I currently have:
- /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
- 
/opt/eldk-5.4/armv7a/sysroots/i686-eldk-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-vfp-neon-linux-gnueabi/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
- (and others)
installed on my machine....
If $PATH" was to "take care of it", then somehow $PATH would need to be 
constantly "rearranged" so that the desired compiler is selected correctly.
IMO it would be best to specify the "absolute path to the prefix" 
completely, and not rely on PATH at all!
