"which as" or "whence as" should return
/bin/as
"ls -l /bin/as" should return
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     sys           31 Apr  5  2005 /bin/as -> 
/opt/K/SCO/unixds/5.2.0A/bin/as

If not then do what I said in the previous post.
Install: "SCO OpenServer Linker and Application Development Libraries" from 
the install cd.
and then patch it with MP4
(but do everything and in the order I showed)

It seems like you installed the full dev sys because you have a make in your 
path that is not gnu make.
Is the dev sys licenced? Has it ever worked?
Yet the build process above is trying to use gcc not cc.
This isn't your main problem but you always want to make sure any build 
process uses either all gnu stuff or all native stuff.
In this case, either stop it from finding /bin/make and make it find 
/usr/gnu/bin/make, or stop it from using gcc and make it use cc.

After doing what I said, it should find "as" correctly but may still find 
/bin/make incorrectly. I'd either make /usr/gnu/bin come earlier in the PATH 
than /bin, or remove the devsys package since it doesn't seem to be working 
anyway and is probably not licenced. I'm not being a prude when I talk about 
the licence. The key binaries don't actually work unless it's licenced and 
so you don't want them in your PATH where build processes will find them and 
try to use them.

The linker package is free and includes "as" and "ld" binaries that will 
work.
The gnutools package is free and includes gcc and gnu make that will work.
And both will work together more or less smoothly, especially if the real 
devsys is not installed to confuse makefiles and ./configure scripts into 
making the wrong decisions.

You might also try ln -s /usr/gnu/bin/gas /usr/gnu/bin/as to make it find 
and use the gnu assemler but I don't recommend that as a solution.
The real solution is to clean up your install and get the latest versions of 
the parts while at it, which is what I described already.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
