[sorry to double-post this to some people, but apparently it never made it all the way through the vger mail queue and I'm still gettin email from people on the subject]
Here was the problem on my system. I'm sure others share the same system configuration.
The default location for installed binutils on the Slackware 3 distribution is /usr/bin. By default, the binutils 2.7.0.3 makefile installs binutils, including gnu as, in /usr/local/bin. Apparently the kernel makefile was locating and using the binutils in /usr/bin, even though "as --version" executed /usr/local/bin/as since the latter directory has precedence in my path.
Other distributions may have the same problem. The fix is obvious ......
