Building GCC without an assembler

[Gobaan_Raveendran@amis.com]

Hello,

I am working on building gcc as a cross compiler and I do not have a
working assembler, thus it fails when trying to build the libraries. I
think I can build a simple program to read the input and spit it back out
so no errors are produced, but I was wondering if there is any way to avoid
building the libraries so that I can experiment with code that does not
need to be assembled/linked. I currently just install the broken cross
compiler as it allows me to experiment, but I am wondering if there is a
better way.

Thanks,
