Andreas' patch avoids the problem of getting a make variable named
`AS' inadvertently propagated into DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER. My patch does
that, and also prevents that some user that defines environment
variables AS and LD inadvertently gets them hard-coded into gcc, by
referring to environment variables DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER and
DEFAULT_LINKER. However, it does not require a full pathname as
Andreas' patch does, but then, I'm not sure if we should really do
that.
