Why?

To me it seems that $(AS) should not be expected to output by default to <basename>.o, as is
apparently expected in the infozip's unix/Makefile. GNU as outputs to a.out by default.

If I build the package in my host environment, it picks "$(CC) -c" as the value for $(AS) and
works OK but when called from Buildroot, the value for $(AS) is set to invoke the toolchain's
as directly, and the output of it goes to a.out.

Am I totally wrong in believing that your patch is the right way to produce match.o rather
than original way of doing it?
