how to tell egcs to use gnu-as?

[Yotam Medini]

It seems that the way egcs figures out which 'as' to use has changed.
I am trying to build egcs on Solaris, using
   --with-gnu-as
making sure Gnu-as is in my PATH, but still
gcc/g++ uses /usr/ccs/bin/as.

Could it be related to:

?	* configure.in (gnu_ld): Rename to gnu_ld_flag before main loop.
?	Set gnu_ld to gnu_ld_flag inside main loop.
?	(gas): Likewise.
