You should not hardcode the assembler prefix. It should be determined
automatically, or be configured by the user (The -XP<prefix> command).
Just put the asmbin name as 'as'

If you need special cases try to look in "options.pas". Look for other
places where utilsprefix is set

Indeed if there is need for special naming then it is suppose to be
user configurable (by said -XP option to prefix).

Also the compiler makefile has provision for that with BINUTILSPREFIX
