Missing file from GCC

[linuxrebel]

I was attempting to compile a kernel module for my laptop when I noticed that the file /usr/local/bin/as is not present in the GCC build for tiny core.  As a result it halts the make attempting to find the executable. Conversely I'm not sure I can build a GCC locally without this file either.  A sort of chicken and egg problem if you will  

Thanks for your help and thanks for Tiny Core.  It's so bloody much fun!

You should use the compiletc.tcz meta extension.
as is part of binutils.

first, thanks for the quick reply.  I'll dig into this shortly and come back.  Thanks!

Thanks!   Module (acerhdf) compiled without a problem and I've got it installed as well.  I appreciate the help.
