I installed this patch Wolfgang provided to me. Thanks!

  Refine documentation of --with-as and --with-gnu-as.

    libraries if supported <tt>--disable-shared</tt> is the default.

!   <li> <tt>--with-gnu-as</tt> -- Specify that the compiler should
!   assume that the assembler it finds is the GNU assembler. However,
!   this does not modify the rules to find an assembler and will result
!   in confusion if the found assembler is not actually the GNU
!   assembler. If you have more than one assembler installed on your
!   system, you may want to use this option in connection with
!   <tt>--with-as=/path/to/gas</tt>.

!   <li> <tt>--with-as=</tt><i>/path/to/as</i> -- Specify that the compiler
!   should use the assembler pointed to by <i>pathname</i>, rather than
!   the one found by the standard rules to find an assembler, which are:
!   <ul>
!      <li> Check the <i>$exec_prefix/lib/gcc-lib/$target/$version</i>
!      directory, where <i>$exec_prefix</i> defaults to <i>$prefix</i>
!      which defaults to <i>/usr/local</i> unless overridden by the
!      <tt>--prefix=/pathname</tt> switch described above.
!      <i>$target</i> is the target system triple, such as
!      <i>sparc-sun-solaris2.7</i>, and <i>$version</i> denotes the GCC
!      version, such as <i>2.95.2</i>.
!
!      <li> Check operating system specific directories
!      (e.g. <i>/usr/ccs/bin</i> on Sun Solaris).
!   </ul>
!   Note that these rules do not check for the value of
!   <i>$PATH</i>. You may want to use <tt>--with-as</tt> if no assembler
!   is installed in the directories listed above, or if you have
!   multiple assemblers installed and want to choose one that is not
!   found by the above rules.
