It's not possible to 'configure' egcs in that manner.  However you can arrange
for that assembler to be used by placing it in a path searched by egcs.

Use "gcc --print-search-dirs" to get a list of the search directories.  Look
at the dirs for "program".  Place your assembler in one of those directories
and call it "as" instead of "gas".
