The automake documentation states that when you use AM_PROG_AS, your 
assembler MUST behave like a C compiler, in that it MUST accept -c and 
-o.  If /usr/bin/as does not accept -c, then you'll have to provide a 
shell-script wrapper that adds that functionality on top of /usr/bin/as, 
at least according to the automake documentation.

But again, the autoconf list is not the best list to be asking this; 
you'll (hopefully) get better response on the automake list, since it is 
an automake feature you are trying to use.
