Hi,

I use the one build of dmake for a variety of perls that have been built
with different mingw (gcc) compilers.

For some of those perls, $(CC) needs to be set to 'gcc', for others it needs
to be set to 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc'.
Similarly $(AR) can be either 'ar' or 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar' ... and $(AS)
either 'as' or 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-as'.

Both $(CC) and $(AR) always get set correctly for the particular
perl/compiler. I think this is owing to the influence of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
.... right ?

But $(AS) always gets set to 'as'.
Could EU::MM be modified to influence this setting ? Which particular EU::MM
module(s) should I be looking at in order to come up with a patch ?

dmake's startup.mk contains the following 2 lines:
AS *:= as
AR *:= ar

In a nutshell, I just want to extend the process that fixes AR (when
necessary) to apply also to AS.

Cheers,
Rob
