No.  I tried the latest CVS, which contained the following
ChangeLog entry:

2001-04-02  Geoffrey Keating  <geoffk@redhat.com>

        * configure.in (gcc_cv_as_leb128): Correct name of cache variable.
        Require at least 2.11 in the version test.  Specifically check
        for and reject GAS version 2.10.90.
        * configure: regenerate.

But the build still failed with the same error:

Here is the output of as -v:

GNU assembler version 2.9.5 (i386-linux) using BFD version 2.9.5.0.37

It comes from binutils-2.9.5.0.37-1_i386.deb .  I'm currently
trying to isolate exactly what causes as to segfault.  Maybe that
should be put in the configure test.
