Hi. While cross building wine, winebuild stops the building process complaining
that it cannot find the 'as' tool. (details in the config.log). I am cross
building wine to i686.

In a previous bug that I reported:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54677. it was commented the necessity
for a separate tree with tools built for the native architecture when cross
building.

So I assume winebuild is not looking in /usr/bin for as. Is this a regular/
expected behavior or not? If is not, can I make winebuild look for it in
/usr/bin or will I need a 32bit "as" somewhere else in the file tree?
