  To the best of my knowledge, you can only compile and install gas for
one target CPU/system combination at a time.  You'll have to repeatedly
do the configure-make all-make install cycle for each of the desired
targets.
The separate builds will all co-exist happily, that won't be a problem.

  Yep, gcc is completely separate from the gas/binutils package (although it
needs them installed before it will work!). I'm afraid you'll have to go
through the same routine for gcc, one target at a time, as well.
