Do we need FreeBSD's minor version in gcc and binutils paths?

For example, currently packages of 11.x are built on 11.1 so
aarch64-gcc installs /usr/local/bin/aarch64-unknown-freebsd11.1-gcc
and aarch64-binutils install /usr/local/aarch64-unknown-freebsd11.1/bin/ld
This is a bit weird to see these on a 11.2 system, also causes some
problem while testing alone with local-built toolchains.
Does it make sense to strip the minor version in the paths?
i.e. change to something like /usr/local/bin/aarch64-unknown-freebsd11-gcc
I think this should be fine since we guarantee ABI stable in a stable branch.
