This doesn't seem to work:

gcc -c -I/mem/graphics/mplayer/work.i386/.buildlink/include -O2 -B/usr/pkg/bin -pipe -march=pentiumpro -mcpu=pentiumpro -B/usr/pkg/bin -pipe -march=pentiumpro -mcpu=pentiumpro -I. -I../libvo -I.. -I/usr/pkg/include -DMPG12PLAY -o idct_mmx.o idct_mmx.c

Am I missing something? The package I am testing -B on compiles clearly when I replace /usr/bin/as
with the new version.

PS. When I added "PATH = /usr/pkg/bin:/usr/bin" to the front of the Makefile, it worked fine.
Is it acceptable way to deal with this?
