Ok, I've found few ways to accomplish this easily:
-use the "-B/usr/local/bin/" switch just as the -L and the -I
-use environment COMPILER_PATH or better GCC_EXEC_PATH to specify path
for programs executed internally by the gcc

Both of these solutions simply prepends specified path before the
environment data, so if the program is not found in the specified
path, it is still searched in standard order :-) Testing under way..

Best regards,
Tomek
