You shouldn't need to add libexec/... to you path.

-meabi=4 is automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler driver. I 
guess it's failing to find the proper cross-assembler and trying to use your 
native host assembler instead.

The gcc driver (arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc) should find the correct cc1 and as 
automatically. Please ensure that the directory structure of the tarball is 
preserved. It doesn't matter where you install the toolchain, but it is 
important that the relative locations of the different components is the 
same. ie. if you installed the package in /somewhere, the driver will 
be /somewhere/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc, and it will expect to find cc1 
and as in /somewhere/libexec/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/3.4.3/cc1 
and /somewhere/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/as respecitvely.
