Getting egcs to find GNU as on hpux 10.20

Getting egcs to find GNU as on hpux 10.20

[Arthur Jerijian]

Hi,

I attempted to compile egcs-971122 on my hpux 10.20 machine at work.
I have GCC 2.7.2.3 installed in /opt/gcc/bin and GNU as installed in
/opt/binutils/bin (which comes before /usr/ccs/bin, where the HP assembler
is, in my path).  I used
configure --with-gnu-as --prefix=/opt/egcs-971122/bin
to tell the Makefile that I'm using GNU as.  However, the resulting
stage 1 xgcc was invoking the HP assembler, not the GNU assembler, causing
a whole slew of errors to spill out!  Is there a way for the stage 1
compiled to find GNU as?

I don't have a transcript of actions or errors, but if need be, I'll
provide one on Monday after I come home freom my vacation.

Thanks!
--Arthur

The correct way to do this is to configure gas/binutils with the same
--prefix option as you configure egcs with, then build & install 
gas/binutils.

Doing so will put the assembler in a location where egcs will find
it before any system assembler.  There's other less graceful ways
to do this, but I wouldn't recommend them.
