Actually, that latter looks more like the results of 'printenv',
but seen through a mist [ I would describe the colours as off-white
and pale cyan, on a darkish green background - perhaps a text
browser fares better (/me tries links : no, just a blank page apart
from 'hastebin' at top right when links is invoked from either urxvt
or the xfce terminal!) ]

Since this is pass 1 of binutils, I suppose that 'as' is just
/usr/bin/as, but perhaps something has got garbled.
What does ls $(which as) say ? I expect it to say /usr/bin/as but
perhaps something in debian's famed 'alternates' is causing it to
either never get there, or else to take an excessively long number
of symlinks.
