kernel compilation and as86?

[Daryl Williams <daryl.williams@sharewave.com>]

folks,

i am trying to compile a 2.0.34 kernel and getting the following
error message:

as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found

now i've compiled kernels often enough and never run in to this
problem before. the assembler installed from binutils is /bin/as
and it does not understand any of the flags in the Makefile for as86.
what changed? any ideas, clues, rtfms (with a pointer to the fm)
are very welcome.

thanks in advance,

//daryl
