gcc without binutils

[Alexandros Tzannes]

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a configuration parameter for gcc that would
prevent it from using an assembler and linker. I have a port of
gcc 4.0.2 for an experimental architecture and I have my own assembler 
and linker. Currently I am compiling gcc with binutils compiled for MIPS 
  but renamed to make the scripts think they are what is needed. I only 
ever  use gcc to produce .s files so if there is a way to configure and 
build gcc without having an assembler and linker it would make my build
process cleaner.

By the way I tried using --with-as and --with-ld but I get a make error
saying "*** This configuration requires the GNU assembler". If there is 
a way to achieve that without making too many changes in the configure 
and build scripts it would be preferable.

Thank you in advance,
Alex Tzannes
