Got the following while compiling on hpux10.20.  Using gcc 2.7.1, and
other gnu tools (make, binutils, sed, etc).

echo "void __foo () {}" > dummy.c

You configured with --gas or --with-gnu-as, but egcs is finding the
hpux assembler before gas.  This is covered in the faq.

Concerning problems to configure egcs for gnu as and ld:

I myself had severe difficulties to get things right for Solaris.
I wanted to use gnu as and ld.
In my opinion (I'm not an expert) it seems somewhat difficult to
understand
how to configure the compiler properly.

I suggest that the installation description is extended so that
it will be easier to understand without being an expert.

My own problem to get egcs to use gnu ld and as was solved by an advice
by Gerald Pfeifer. I could not find any hint to what he propose in
the documentation.
