I believe AS is a required tool in the suite because of the way inline assembly
is handled by the compiler. LD is probably going to be a stretch (but I'm only
guessing).

To ensure I'm not missing something obvious, what other non-free tools did you
have in mind, and how would they be used? Is it a non-free compiler that can
consume the inline assembly? Or is it a different assembler that GCC can use
when processing the inline assembly?
