No, you want --target to be m68k-elf for both gcc and binutils. 
--target is the machine for which the output of the tool is meant to be
run.  --host is the machine on which the tool itself will run.  If your
'as' is targeted at i686-pc-cygwin then that's not going to work.

Once you've built and installed binutils, you should have a
'm68k-elf-as' in the path and the gcc configure should find and use it. 
You can override this with --with-as I think.
