It looks to me that gcc is very badly broken on your system. The error
message indicates that gcc was unable to find or execute the assembler
(as). This means gcc can't compile anything: the assembly code output
from the compiler can't be translated into code in .o files. If that
happens, every time make invokes gcc, the compiler should terminate
with a non-zero exit status. That should stop make.
