snapshot 971122 and mips-sgi-irix6.2

[LeBlanc@mcc.ac.uk]

I had little difficulty compiling gas from the gas-970915 version
for the mips-sgi-irix6.2 configuration, but when I try to compile
the egcs snapshot 971122 with --with-gnu-as, I get an error as soon
as the new xgcc is used to compile enquire.c, because it tries to
pass the argument -n32 to gas.  I tried removing this from the
specs file, but this simply causes a lot of other errors.

Even if you do not specify --with-gnu-as, the xgcc will try to use
gas if there is a link to it is $(prefix)/mips-sgi-irix6.2/bin/as.

A further difficulty: if you type 'make bootstrap' in the egcs-971122
directory, it uses an old version of gcc to compile the first stage
of the bootstrap, but in the gcc directory the same command uses cc.
