This question used to be frequently asked.   

Add the flags to your configure line to tell it to use GNU as
(--with-gas or --with-gnu-as, I can't recall) and your life will be
better.

Why, after all this time, nobody has submitted a patch to deduce that
if you're doing a cross build you're certainly not using the mips assembler
is a mystery to me.   Perhaps you'd like to propose an appropriate patch.
