It seems that your compiler package (GCC) is not properly
installed. as86 is part of that package and not part of the kernel
source tree. If you are sure you've installed the compiler right, you
should try to locate the as86 binary. It should be somewhere in
your PATH.
Do a
$ find / -name as86*
and watch the screen output. If as86 can't be found, you'll have to
install it again. Otherwise, it possibly helps if you put the directory
where it resides into your path by typing
$ export $PATH:/where/your/as86/is/sitting
or put a link to as86 into a directory which is included in your
PATH, eg. /bin, by typing
$ cd /bin
$ ln -sf /where/your/as86/is/sitting/as86 as86
This creates a reference to your real as86. Test it by trying to
compile the kernel again.
Hth, best regards, 73
