On my Solaris system "as" came in the /usr/ccs/bin directory.  I don't
think we purchased anything over and above the standard Solaris system,
although we probably loaded everything in it.  There was also some other
stuff in there, like a minimal make.  No C compiler of course.

Try adding /usr/ccs/bin to your PATH and doing it again.

Also, the GNU misc discussion list is not the appropriate place for
these kinds of questions; they should be addressed to probably
bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu (gnu.utils.bug).
