I did find the directory where the native gcc and cc1 were created, and 
there is an 'as' in that directory, but it is just a shell script that 
calls $oe_home/tmp/cross/bin/$arch-as, which as far as I can tell is the 
cross-assembler, not the assembler.  Just in case I was wrong, I grabbed 
that as, but when I ran it on the target machine I got a garbled error 
message: "ELF[garbage caracters]: file not found"
