In my experience, GNU as is faster than Sun's as, especially with -g.
Sun's as (at least under x86) would also bloat up and use gobs of
memory for template-heavy code like ACE.  Sun's as also seemed to have
more arbitrary restrictions for stuff like symbol name length.

I now generally configure gcc --with-gnu-as --without-gnu-ld under
Solaris.
