[/usr/bin/as fails]

Sounds like your /usr/bin/as binary is hosed.  Here's what I get on
the machine where I built the 1.3.2 pmax sets:

    # ls -lt  /usr/NetBSD-1.3.2/destdir/usr/bin/as
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  801980 May 31  1997 /usr/NetBSD-1.3.2/destdir/usr/bin/as
    # md5  /usr/NetBSD-1.3.2/destdir/usr/bin/as
    MD5 (/usr/NetBSD-1.3.2/destdir/usr/bin/as) = 3fce9bccab5dd04798c60537afb36f83

and at least the size matches what's in the comp.tgz set.

Does that match what you have?  Did you verify the checksums of the
sets before unpacking them?  Did you do a cd / before unpacking?
