If you really want to use gas instead of solaris as, then just
#cd /usr/ccs/bin
#cp as as.solaris
#cp /usr/sfw/bin/gas as

It seems that you also need to use gld instead of solaris ld, thus

#cd /usr/ccs/bin
#cp ld ld.solaris
#cp /usr/sfw/bin/gld ld

Afte compiling the libraries, just "reinstall" the original binaries:

#mv ld ld.gnu
#cp ld.solaris ld
#mv as as.gnu
#cp as.solaris as

Now, I haven't check whether the resulting libraries are functional,
but I thing there is no reason why the should not be functional.
