We look into acouple of directories to find jc1, so it is not hardcoded directly. The --prefix directory is hardcoded into gcc but that is just one directory where we look into, we also search the PATH if we cannot find it in that directory. We also redirect the hardcoded path to be a relative one if the installation has moved. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29878
