Thanks for your answers.
I'm sorry, I should have written back earlier.

I found that the problem indeed was that configure was finding the
BSDI 3.1 standard 'as', instead of the GNU binutils' 'as' which is
installed somewhere else.
When I specified DEFAULT_ASSEMBLER to configure, things worked and I
experienced no problems in building gcc 2.95.

(I didn't write back so far, since I would have liked to actually
compile & test something before doing that. But I just can't find the
time at the moment. You can assume everything is OK and add
'i386-pc-bsdi3.1' to the Build Status page on the Web.)

Thanks,

Roderik.
