If you look at the script, the search order in your case would be:

    /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.1/as
    /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/as
    /usr/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.1/as
    /usr/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/as
    /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.1/as
    /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin/as
    /usr/libexec/as
    /usr/ccs/gcc/as
    /usr/ccs/bin/as
    <and more>

so you can install or link your preferred assembler from any of those.
Ditto the linker. It will try /usr/ccs/bin/as before it searches the
path.

These are just simple shell scripts: I'm sure you'd be capable of
modifying the behaviour and submitting a patch yourself.

For what it's worth, --with-as and --with-ld work for me on Solaris 2.8
using CVS GCC 3.1.
