I poked through this a bit, and found that the problem was indeed an
old copy of gas.  I had built and installed a new copy, but the old
one was installed in a place where gcc would always find it, thus,
when the build gets to the stage when the just-built gcc is first
used, it choked because of using the new assembler.

A from-scratch build wouldn't see this problem; it's apparently
only an upgrade problem if you had use the old gas with, say, 2..0
and are swiching to using gas 2.5.2 with gcc 2.6.1 or 2.6.2.

My suggestion: when it fails like this, snip the failing line
(./xgcc something) and rerun that command with --verbose
inserted to see what it's picking up where - you may, like me,
be getting something you don't expect...
