Sorry, but I'm not that smart :(

I said that it "seems" to, since I just kept removing macros until AS
stopped being defined.  Maybe I put "dnl" on the wrong line and thus
drew the wrong conclusion.  Maybe I don't even need AS.  Do you know
if I can pass in the $(CCAS) that AM_PROG_AS sets according to the
manual into dlltool's --as option?  If CCAS is just set to gcc, will
dlltool be able to handle that?  Or is this getting just way too far
off topic, and I should just try it myself or go to the binutils list?
