Just to elaborate.  If you do this:

dpkg-query -L mingw32-binutils | grep as

You'll see this (hopefully):

/usr/bin/amd64-mingw32msvc-as
/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-as
/usr/amd64-mingw32msvc/bin/as
/usr/share/man/man1/i586-mingw32msvc-as.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/amd64-mingw32msvc-as.1.gz
/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin/as

By default, the Makefile uses
BINUTILSPREFIX=$(CPU_TARGET)-$(OS_TARGET)-.  So, for x86 you can pass
BINUTILSPREFIX=i586-mingw32msvc- to make so that it finds the correct
binutils.
