I have recently done the gas-"port" for version 1.37. It was almost
trivial. The new version is available via anonymous ftp at
cs.uni-sb.de in directory /pub/atari/gas (sources) and
/pub/atari/bin/gcc/lib (binary). Whe i finished the port, i was rather
surprised that it produced even better (= smaller) code than gas 1.36.

BTW.: We have here an almost complete collection of all GNU software
ported to the Atari ST running TOS (there are plans to set up a Minix
archive too, but it may take some time).
