I'll assume they're okay for now: you have other problems:

Well, you need to overcome this problem.  A properly target assembler is
essential to making progress: it is a prerequisite to building a new
test suite.  Check out a copy of the whole binutils+cgen kit from the
sources.redhat.com /cvs/src repository, configure a build tree with
"--target=m32r", then run "make".  Please report any build failures
if you cannot solve them by yourself.
