armv7: x11-toolkits/qt5-gui still blocked by 'unable to execute command: Executable "as" doesn't exist!' for .obj/qdrawhelper_neon_asm.o and .obj/pixman-arm-neon-asm.o

[Mark Millard]

In my poudriere-devel based port upgrade's bulk run I got:

--- .obj/qdrawhelper_neon_asm.o ---
cc: error: unable to execute command: Executable "as" doesn't exist!
cc: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
*** [.obj/qdrawhelper_neon_asm.o] Error code 1

make[1]: stopped in /wrkdirs/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt5-gui/work/qtbase-everywhere-src-5.15.0/src/gui
--- .obj/pixman-arm-neon-asm.o ---
cc: error: unable to execute command: Executable "as" doesn't exist!
cc: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
*** [.obj/pixman-arm-neon-asm.o] Error code 1

This was based on head -r363123 of FreeBSD and -r542111 of ports.

The following experiment was sufficient to enable
the x11-toolkits/qt5-gui build to not fail. (I do
not claim it meets all ports-criteria for its
details.)
