It's probably because you don't have the executable "gcc-as"
in /usr/local/gnu/lib. One way out of this is to have a
copy of your "as" and "ld" in the said directory and
rename them as gcc-as and gcc-ld. Another
possibility is to link (`ln') /usr/local/gnu/bin/gas to
/usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-as. Do likewise to "ld".
(You can look at gcc.c for the 

	#define STANDARD_EXEC_PREFIX
	
to learn more about how the prefixes for executables are set
for gcc/g++. In fact, you can modify this #define to suit
your own needs.)

Hope this helps ...	Amante
