Standalone as is not used on x86_64 so that has no effect at all.
You need to make your compiler use up-to-date binutils.
Since gcc does not seem to have an option to select the assembler it
uses and FreeBSD hard-coded the name including the path (so changing
PATH so that /usr/local/bin comes first does not help) that means
you have to replace /usr/bin/as.

As said that should not be needed.

If you put /usr/local/bin in the path the last three should not
be necessary and the first one simpler.

That is the default already.
