You need to change directories to /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gas.new and type
"make" followed by make install. There was another library I had to
rebuild before the above make would work. I believe it was
/usr/src/gnu/lib/libbfd.
I had to do a "make" followed by "make install" in
/usr/src/gnu/lib/libbfd prior to the make in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gas.new,
before it would succeed. Hope this
helps! As far as I could tell, these were the only "show stoppers."
