Hi!

config-list.mk Darwin: Use --with-gnu-as for mass-building tests

As `config-list.mk` is probably mostly used on Linux system, where
Apple's tools aren't around. Let's use --with-gnu-as instead to have
an useable assembler.

contrib/ChangeLog:

	* config-list.mk (i686-apple-darwin): Use --with-gnu-as.
	(i686-apple-darwin9): Ditto.
	(i686-apple-darwin10): Ditto.
	(powerpc-darwin8): Ditto.
	(powerpc-darwin7): Ditto.
	(powerpc64-darwin): Ditto.
	(x86_64-apple-darwin): Ditto.

this doesn't seem right: binutils toplevel configure.ac has gas in
noconfigdirs for all but i?86-*-darwin*.

* Actually I’m somewhat surprised that an “out of the tin” binutils assembler
would work for any arch other than probably x86_64 (which is what Adacore
folks supported for a while).  Otherwise, I’d kind of expect that the mach-o-specific
asm directives would trip things up quite quickly.  GAS is not going to produce
any sensible relocations for powerpc (I have a BFD patch, but it needs some
polish)

* Does this prevent it working properly, in the event that a Linux user has
 an installation of mach-o tools (e.g. cctools or llvm)?
 (there are several Linux-buildable branches floating around - and I am
  working on making something more ‘official’)

* Other than those questions, no objection from me (i.e. OK for trunk).

You are right, I have to retract this patch. I had a similar patch
running for some Solaris variant and initially built this one
accordingly. However, in the end it didn't work (as you expected from
configure.ac), but I didn't drop it from my patch directory.

Sorry for the noise,
  Jan-Benedict
