No, this is also caused by the $(unlibsubdir) patch :-( In the past
"xgcc" tried to locate "as" via ${exec_prefix}/${target}/bin; now it's
using ${libsubdir}/../../../${target}/bin - since you're just trying to
build the compiler, ${libsubdir} obviously doesn't exist, hence no GNU
"as" will be found.

You're right, using the new "--with-as=..." might help, but I'm afraid
a whole lot previously working setups, ways to work, ... have been broken
by this particular patch.

Very unfortunate indeed...
