One of my co-workers solved a problem similar to this on Solaris 8 with
the Mesa library by using the GNU assembler instead of /usr/ccs/bin/as.
He made sure he had a recent copy of binutils installed and then moved
/usr/ccs/bin/as aside. Problem solved. The correct solution is
probably to rebuild gcc with only the GNU "as" available, so it won't
even try to use the one in /usr/ccs/bin. That was deemed to be too
much effort just to compile Mesa.
