I suspect you are trying to assemble arm instructions with a sparc
assembler.  You can confirm this by using -v.  If it finds as out of
the path, and if the as in your path is a sparc assembler, this would
account for the problems.

I normally put all the sources together to build, when one does this,
gcc find /gas/as[.-]new and uses it over as in the path.

If you get and install binutils with the same --prefix argument to the
compiler, before you compile up the compiler, I think it will also
work.
