bug report

[Richard Sand]

GCC version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
Platform is AIX 4.3.2
 
I tried both the AIX 4.3.1 binaries packaged in LPP form from 
http://www-frec.bull.com/docs/download.htm
as well as the AIX 4.3.2 binaries downloaded from http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/aixpdslib.html
 
With both, I experience the following bug when trying ANY 
compilation:
 
rsand:/home/rsand>gcc -c abc.c gcc: installation 
problem, cannot exec `as': A file or directory in the path name does not 
exist.
 
...where abc.c is:
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(int argc, char** argv) {    int 
i;    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) printf("i = %d\n", 
i); } 
 
The verbose output is:
