>Description:
error when building a cross compiler gcc-3.0.2 on an i686-pc-linux-gnu
                                     (for an ia64-unknown-linux)
message: "as: unrecognized option `-x'"

the native installed compiler on the i686 machine is a ...
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
(specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/2.95.3/specs)

...which is invoked using
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc


system type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured using: ../gcc-3.0.2/configure --target=ia64-unknown-linux --prefix=/usr
/local/ia64
preprocessed file: none

my installation attempt with: make all install
stops with:
