The answer to this question has already been given, but maybe not why it
is not the first time it occurs. Since I had the same problem as Peter, I
thought I'd note that INSTALL/CONFIGURE talks about using the gnu
assembler (--with-gnu-as, --with-as=...). Using these options in any
combination doesn't help, not even taking /usr/ccs/bin out of PATH (!);
configure does a good job finding the Sun assembler anyway!

I admit I haven't read the FAQ before this experience and used the
options listed in the INSTALL directory, so it's entirely my fault; it
might be a good idea to take out the lines in INSTALL/CONFIGURE anyway,
though.

Thanks for the good compiler anyway,
Wolfgang
