I committed a patch back in April that helps to prevent this
situation:
2004-04-29 Ben Elliston <bje@au.ibm.com>
* configure.ac (--with-as): Abort if user-supplied assembler
cannot be executed.
(--with-ld): Likewise for the linker.
* configure: Regenerate.
Hopefully it will help newbie cross-compiler users in future!
