You mean "as" refuses to work.

"as" is part of the "binutils" package. The binutils package depends on a
libbfd* library. Apperantly you don't have that library installed, or ld.so
cannot find it. 

Try running "ldconfig"; if that doesn't help, "dpkg --status binutils" will
tell you precisely what library "as" needs (and "dpkg --audit" should tell
you it is missing).
