I believe the recommended procedure is to make a soft link of as into
your gcc-2.7.2 build directory.  However, I've found that the BEST thing
to do is make SURE that the default ``as'' in your $PATH environment
variable is GNU as.  I.e. when you do a ``which as'' that the GNU as
comes up.  Make clean, change your $PATH, then rebuild.

Once gcc-2.7.2 is built, it will be able to find GNU as, but until then
it's best to cover all bases.

Note: This may *not* solve the problem you had below.  Please read

I had this happen to me a while back when compiling gcc-2.6.3 for our
HP 400s.  I *think* what this is saying is that /bin/ld doesn't
recognize something xgcc is trying to feed to it.  This is because:

  1. The wrong ``as'' was used sometime during compilation.  (See above
     for fix.)

or

  2. You need to compile GNU ld on your system as well.  (I know the
     docs say you don't have to, but sometimes it's just easier to use
     it anyway.)

To fix the problem, either:

  1. Reset your $PATH environment variable and ln -s /usr/local/bin/as
     to the gcc-2.7.2/ build directory, make clean, then make
     LANGUAGES=c.

or

  2. Remove ALL traces of the binutils and gcc-2.7.2 packages that were
     installed on the system (i.e. outside the source directories).
     Start over with binutils and build both GNU as and GNU ld.
     Soft-link both into your gcc-2.7.2 build directory.  Make sure both
     GNU as and GNU ld appear first in your $PATH.  Configure
     --with-gnu-as and --with-gnu-ld, then make gcc-2.7.2.

     If that didn't work, then you either didn't get all the binutils
     and gcc-2.7.2 stuff off first, or something bigger is wrong.  :^)

Good luck!

I've compiled gcc so many times I've lost track.
