The compiler looks it up into its recorded prefix, not in $PATH.

Normally not, but maybe you should give both (binutils and GCC) a
--prefix.

To find out where it looks for it, perhaps you've got some syscall
tracer.  Under FreeBSD, I've got ktrace for that, no idea whether
MacOS X has kept that name.

Not really.  avr-as is the frontend name for users to call, it's
supposed to be in $PATH.  as is the backend name, as the compiler
calls it.  On my FreeBSD, the frontend is /usr/local/bin/avr-as, but
the backend in /usr/local/avr/bin/as.  avr-gcc calls the latter one.

tnx.  Hope to be QRV next week as OZ/DL8DTL, but only on
frequencies < 30 MHz.
