The gcc/binutils components have embedded installation paths in them. So 
this is why it doesn't work when you have a different directory and try to 
rename things behind gcc's back, and it's also why it DOES work if you use 
the symlink (since the same path string /tools/xxxx reaches the right files 
through the symlink).

Try rebuilding/reinstalling to separate directories, i.e. specify 
"/toolarm/i686-pc-linux-gnu" for the ARM toolchain and 
"toolsynth/i686-pc-linux-gnu" for the x86 toolchain.
