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."
