Sorry to be spending so much bandwidth over this, but it seems that no one is
able to find the answer in the FAQ or installation page.  Until egcs-19981012,
the normal way for configure to find gnu as was for it to be pre-installed (or
sym-linked into) in the location specified by --prefix.  Since then, the
configure option --with-as=<full path to pre-installed gnu as> has worked.  On
hpux, /usr/ccs/ld will continue to be used, and it is perfectly feasible to
link together hpux compiled and gnu compiled .o.  For HPUX Fortran, the -ppu
option brings compatibility with the g77 default.
