autoconf macro `AM_PROG_AS' will do this for you. Unless they are
already set, it simply sets `AS' to the C compiler and `ASFLAGS' to the
C compiler flags.
LIES! :)
Actually it defaults to "as", not your compiler, and then it gives as the
flags it should have given to the C compiler. Anyway, fixed now, and bug
reported to the GNU guys :)

Nope, sorry. More people use 1.4. Come up with something that is
compatible with 1.4 if changing configure.ac doesn't work, but
breaking compatibility with the older automake is not acceptable.
