How I use a cross GAS?
I don't know how tell ./configure to use my sparc-linux-as instead of 
/usr/bin/as
--with-gnu-as doesn't work (what's its meaning?).
./configure can't understand sparc-linux-as is right assembler.

I made cross GAS from binutils (as & gasp) (./configure --target=sparc-linux)
and put files in /usr/local/bin/sparc-linux-*
Installed binutils-multiarch too.
"dpkg-cross -i libc6 libc6-dev", too
All OK.

But making gcc-sparc-linux-2.8.1 (changed all m68k references to sparc in
debian/ && dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us), it gives the same 'as' error:

./xgcc -B./ -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC -O2 -I./include -I. -I. -I./config -g0
-finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -c ./crtstuff.c
-DCRT_BEGIN -o crtbegin.o
as: option '-s' is ambiguous

Thanks,
Cosimo.
