I will have a look,

--with-as seems to have done it, I have to give the full path as it 
appears to look at the file to see if it is executable rather than 
by trying to run it,

(--with-as=ppc-morphos-as fails)


I will look at gcc/gcc/config.gcc that you mention above in case 
it sheds any light on this or other matters,

gcc-morphos-2.95.3-5 is proving quite tricky to build, 

I am trying my 3rd attempt to build it, 
in my 2nd attempt I found that -O2 always crashed the cross compiler,
:I completed the 2nd attempt but gcc -O2 crashes, so am rebuilding yet again,

changing configure options seems to make a difference,
