That's actually complete rubbish. The former is a valid path, as is the 
second, both referring to the same location.

Also _as=`$_cc -print-prog-name=as` doesn't evaluate to the above, which 
would be fine. Instead it gives the value
MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/as.exe
which is obviously flawed.

Thanks. I wanted a general solution but given the problem & that I'm 
clearly inept I think I'll have to go with localised workarounds for 
each problem as they come up.
