Yes, it should. I've been closing my eyes to this problem for a while but
this is the second time it's been reported in the span of a week (the other
time was over in the crossgcc mailing list).
There were several problems with the handling of PATH and other special
environment variables. I hope I have fixed all of them in CVS. A new
snapshot is being generated now.
