Well, the as-new --version output looks fine to me, here's main branch:

GNU assembler 2.12.90 20020304 (experimental)
Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

the GNU General Public License.  This program has absolutely no warranty.
This assembler was configured for a target of `sparc-linux'.

but the test suite gets it wrong:

                === gas Summary ===

# of expected passes            153
../as-new Inc.


and I would really like that to be something like

                === gas Summary ===

# of expected passes            153
/share1/gcc-dev/src/objdir/gas/as-new 2.12.90 20020304 (experimental)

(but actually I'd like version to be 2.13 as you all who follow this
know, but that's yet an other issue)

Cheers,
