Your suspicions are correct.

1) It seems you are invoking the "host" version of "as" - and not the 
target verion of as., for arm that might be:  arm-elf-as, I'm not sure 
of the correct name for  your target, ie:  m68k-elf-as

The "un-adorned" name "as" is always the host version.

2) It seems - I do not have your makefile in front of me - the Makefile 
is not invoking "GCC" to assemble the .S file. By convention,  
.(little-s) is assembler, and .(captial-S) is first ran through the C 
pre-processor. That convention might not hold for the Makefiles you are 
working with.
