What does return '/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as -v' (after it you need to interupt as with ctrl-C)? For me it gives Apple Inc version cctools-795~45, GNU assembler version 1.38 I configure with Configured with: ../work/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc/gcc4.7w --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,java,ada,lto --with-gmp=/opt/mp --with-system-zlib --with-cloog=/opt/mp --enable-cloog-backend=isl --enable-lto and it works!-)
