I did have GNU assembler 2.17; cross-i386-mingw32/binutils-2.23.2 merged successfully (build log attached); currently attempting to merge cross-i386-mingw32/gcc-4.8.2; will report back.

(In reply to Martin Bays from comment #5) please run the commands that i did in comment #2
The plot thickens... I get the same error, because the emerge of cross-i386-mingw32/binutils-2.32.2 didn't actually change that 'as'. The emerge log shows it installed in /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/i386-mingw32/binutils-bin/2.23.2/ , but that one gives a different error.

(In reply to Martin Bays from comment #7) use `binutils-config` to switch versions
Aha, thanks. After using binutils-config, emerge of cross-i386-mingw32/gcc completed successfully.
