ppc assembler problem

[F. Heitkamp]

I'm trying to compile gcc-3.3.6 on powerpc. I am having a heck of a time 
getting rid of the following problem.  I've tried several combinations of 
*FLAGS as well as passing ASFLAGS.  What is the sure fire way to pass 
flags to the assembler when compiling GCC?

  if [ -f stmp-dirs ]; then true; else touch stmp-dirs; fi
