Yep, I've observed that too.  I'm not sure the jit3 is supposed to
work on IRIX, particularly IRIX 6.  Meanwhile, I've been using
--with-engine=intrp.

Maybe there's some -mgnu-as flag that would allow you to tell GCC that
the assembler to be used is GNU as.  If there isn't, you'd have to
configure and rebuild *gcc* --with-gnu-as.

Another option is to write a wrapper script called `as', that removes
the `-n32' switch from the command line and calls GNU as.  You'd have
to point gcc to it with -B/the/directory/that/contains/ the script
(note trailing slash!)
