gcc missing assembler?

[Michael Anastasia]

Building the native gcc for my gumstix using open embedded.  Actually, 
building it goes just fine.  When I try to use it to compile any c code 
though, the compilation dies on me with this message:

"gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory."

  A little google searching led me to understand that the assembler is 
missing, and that seems to be true.  There's no as or 
arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-as anywhere in /usr/bin, /bin, or 
/usr/local/bin (gcc is in /usr/bin).  I think I must just be missing a 
package or something, but I haven't found any package that claims to 
contain the c assembler.

Is there an ipkg package or an OE recipie that can help me here?

Thanks
