TC3: gcc: error trying to exec 'as'

[rminnich]

tinycore 3: I've downloaded base-dev, and every gcc-like thing I can find; as is missing.

Some change I missed here?

As is in binutils.tcz, maybe that package is missing

It would be better to use the appbrowser to download/install the compiletc meta-extension - that way you will get everything required for a compile environment.

I loaded the gcc extension and it's listed dependencies kind of expecting to be able to compile afterwards, but this was not the case.  I ran into this issue and much general head scratching ensued until I came across this post.  Now I understand that just downloading the compiletc meta-extension is probably the best way to go with this if you're going to be doing a lot of compiling, but I'm curious as to why the binutils wouldn't be listed as a dep to the gcc extension?  It seems that it would be appropriate to do so.
