1. [ex]gcc normally look for `as' in ${prefix}/${target}/bin where ${prefix} is
   what you specified to configure and ${target} is what config.guess finds
   out for your system, e.g. hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05.
   Hence, you should move /usr/local/hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05/as to
   /usr/local/egcs/hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05/as or create a symbolic link there.

2. --with-gas=... is wrong; you have to use --with-gnu-as=[yes|no]
