GCC on Solaris7: "C compiler cannot create executables"

Hello all,

I'm desperately trying to install ssh onto a Solaris 7 system (SPARC). 
Since no compiler comes with Solaris, I downloaded gcc-2.95.1 from 
sunfreeware.com and installed it, together with make-3.77. 
However whenever I run configure for ssh, it stops with the following 
message: 
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot 
create executables.

When I look into the config.log file, I find a bit more info:

configure:927: checking for gcc
configure:1004: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g ) works
configure:1018: gcc -o conftest -g   conftest.c  1>&5
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 1014 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
main(){return(0);}

Now I think the problem is that there's no such "as" file on my system. So 
I tried to install gcc-2.8.1 hoping that this would solve the problem, but 
it's exactly the same. 
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Thanks.
J.V.
