I know that is the preferred way to find gas.  I've tried it and it
works, but then I get conflicts with gcc, and things starts to break.
I need to compile egcs and gcc with different prefix.  As I install
egcs, and another person installs gcc and gas, I want to change the
prefix of egcs and still find gas.

How do I do that.  Why does not --with-as=/full/path/to/gas work?

Do I fix this with --with-gnu-as?  Is there a better way?

BTW: I'm still not on this list.  Please send copy to me when answering.
