We've had similar issues with use of clang for CUDA on Debian (I think), where CUDA was scattered all over the place.
The way to do it was to create a 'shim' directory structure which would put all relevant tools in the right places.
Something similar could be done in your case -- make a package which would depend on individual tool packages and which would symlink all of them into one dir and point your compiler there.
