This is the with switch -v:

On my debian system i have made a softlink from /usr/bin/as to 
/usr/local/arm-wince-pe/bin/arm-wince-pe-as 

Then it was possible to compile an object file.
I have delete the softlink and it is also posslible to make a 
object file. I dont't now why?
Here is the output:
