You should look into the DJGPP FAQ list whenever you have problems,
even before you serach the news group.  The FAQ is available in
several formats in the archive v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you
get DJGPP.

This problem is covered in section 6.4 in the FAQ.  (The fastest way
of finding references to problems is to look them up in the two large
indices at the end of the FAQ.)

The most probable cause of your problem is that you didn't install the
GNU Binutils package, v2gnu/bnu281b.zip.  `as' is the assembler that
is part of Binutils.
