Cannot compile 20050830 on Solaris 9

[Rob D]

I built gcc with the recommended options, but still getting similar errors 
from the assembler pass of winegcc:

This doesnt make sense to me. Here are a few settings on the machine:

$ which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
$ /usr/local/bin/gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-pc-solaris2.9
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.1/configure --with-gnu-as 
--with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1

$ which as
/usr/local/bin/as
$ /usr/local/bin/as -v
GNU assembler version 2.14 (i386-pc-solaris2.9) using BFD version 2.14 20030612

Not sure where to go from here at all. This is VERY frustrating. I am 
downloading Wine-20050930 to try that
