A useful trick to make this easier for a human to read is to pipe the
output through

sed -e :a -e "s,[^/]*/\.\.\/,," -e ta

I don't guarantee that this will always result in the correct semantics
in all situations but it's not too far off.  "readlink -m" would be
closer if needed.

Why do you think it's necessary to specify this?  Configure will
automatically find and use $tooldir/bin/as (= $prefix/$target/bin/as) or
$target-as in PATH.
