  Well, yes, you're right.  There's something still wrong, although it could
simply be that gcc accepts 'as' if it finds that in the search path before
'm68k-elf-as'.  I would call that a bug, though; gcc should be looking for the
properly program-prefixed name first, and accept that anywhere on the path in
preference to using an unadorned 'as', which is a fallback-of-last-resort.

  If you wanted to look any further at this, it would be instructive to try
running the two commands

m68k-elf-gcc -print-prog-name=as

m68k-elf-gcc -print-prog-name=m68k-elf-as

with your $PATH set both ways round, and see how they differ.
