The correct way to do this is to configure gas/binutils with the same
--prefix option as you configure egcs with, then build & install 
gas/binutils.

Doing so will put the assembler in a location where egcs will find
it before any system assembler.  There's other less graceful ways
to do this, but I wouldn't recommend them.
