It looks to me like this last changed around 2005-06-16 on HEAD, and we
assume that the assembler installed in $prefix is the assembler you
want the compiler to be using - it's the same assembler you'd get if
you said "as", so why shouldn't we use it?
When building from a combined tree, I still see that the compiler is
using the assembler in $prefix/$target/bin/as even for a native
configuration.
