Where'd as go?

[Rich Johnson <rjohnson@dogstar-interactive.com>]

I've got a new powerpc woody system up and running, but I cant compile
because
...cannot exec 'as':  No such file or directory.

Contents-powerpc tells me the assember should be part of
devel/binutils.  I've installed binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3-6 but still no
as.
So, is this a bug?  or did I fumble the installation?

Or is there an alternate assembler I should be using?

Thanks,
