That usually means that the cross as hasn't been installed/symlinked
into the place where gcc expects to find it.  The way the gcc driver
locates the assembler is by searching for "as" in various different
directories.  In particular, despite what you might expect it doesn't
ever look for $TARGET_SYS-as in $bindir or anywhere else.

Usually it will expect to find as in
$libexecdir/gcc/$TARGET_SYS/4.2.1/as or some such path.  The symlinks in
that directory are created as part of the gcc installation process.  You
can strace gcc to find out where it's actually looking.
