This may be off-topic for the cygwin list.  But it's very interesting,
because the same thing happens to me using prc-tools, which is a
m68k-palmos target for gcc, under cygwin.

If you compile with 'arm-elf-gcc -v', I'll bet you'll find that
arm-elf-as is called with no arguments.  '/bin/strings as.exe' points
to

	"Can't open %s for reading."

as the real message, which gets munged somehow.

Apologies to the rest of the cygwin list.  I did spend time at
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/> but nothing looked relevant,
which makes me suspect this is Cygwin-related.  (I don't assert it,
just suspect it. :-)

Regards,
David
