Unfortunately, I goofed in 2.95.2 and installed an old version of a
patch to improve GNU as support on Solaris/x86.  There's a patch to
fix this problem at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html

Yup, this is fixed in development releases of GNU binutils.

Are you sure ./xgcc is using GNU as, and not /bin/as or something?
Even when you configure --with-gnu-as, this doesn't tell gcc to *look*
for GNU as, it just tells it to assume whatever assembler it finds
*is* GNU as.  You may try --with-as=/path/for/as to tell GCC where to
find it.  There are more details about this somewhere in the FAQ
