It seems 'as' is in a special man section; viz: 1aout.
So it is not: man 1 as
but: man 1aout as

Why? I'm not sure but the other entries appear to be a few classical a.out 
utilities rather than elf specific.

The command "man 1 as" also doesn't do anything on my system, but "man as" 
brings the first section of the manpage, as we would expect it.

I don't know what's going on, but the "as" command should also be there on 
your system.
