There are several issues with the native as, discussed in

        http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-11/msg00908.html

where I tried to bootstrap the csl-sol210-branch with Sun as.  A few of
them can easily be avoided

        http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-03/msg02101.html

but several more probably require as changes from Sun.
