egcs-CVS19980627, mips-sgi-irix6.2 bootstrap problem ...

	 Actually, the SGI assembler just uses the standard
	compiler driver. As it has to do the right thing
	with ".s", ".o" and executables, it just passes
	everything that smells like an executable to "ld".
	this has been the case forever.

Not as far as I can tell.  I get different behaviour from the old (o32)
assembler than I do from the new (n32/n64) assembler.

This works:
touch tmp
/usr/bin/as -32 tmp

These do not work:
touch tmp
/usr/bin/as -n32 tmp

touch tmp
/usr/bin/as -64 tmp
