That was my immediate take and I agree with Ranjit.  In just about all
GCC, binutils code
PATH_SEPARATOR  means ';' or ':" or whatever VMS uses, depending and
DIR_SEPARATOR means '/' or '\\' .

Anyway, I had already  committed his change before the nit outbreak.
Feel feel to revert if you prefer a diferent  flavour of nit.
