If I am following correctly: The assembler we test for features in Gunther's case has always been $prefix/bin/as - luckily harmless for him and he probably never noticed. The installed compiler uses $prefix/$target/bin/as. The being-built compiler has switched from one to the other. One appropriate default for --with-build-tools could be the same as the defaults for --program-transform-name. A default native build would use 'as', a default cross build would use '$target-as'. Most people using --program-prefix would probably also pass the same value to --with-build-tools. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
