Uh, let me take a wild guess, the assembler (as) needs a shared
library called /lib/libc.so.4 in order to run and it can't find it.

Seriously, you are mixing pieces from different gcc releases which is
bound to cause problems. Remove ALL traces of gcc and releated files
from you system, then get the current release from tsx-11 and install
it according to the instructions.
