Try running this exact command yourself.  Presumably you will see the
same error.  Figure out why.

Here is my guess.  Look at the file gcc/as.  Look at the value for
ORIGINAL_AS_FOR_TARGET near the start of the file.  I bet it is the
empty string.  That suggests that you don't have an cross-assembler for
your target.  You need to make and install the cross-binutils before you
configure gcc.
