This is really a documentation issue. I assume that you were following the instructions in the binutils/README file on how to unpack and install the binutils ? I am thinking of changing that section of the file to read like this: ------------------------------------------------------------- [...] To build binutils you will need a C99 compliant compiler and library. You can just do: cd binutils-XXX ./configure [various options, see below] make make install # copies the programs files into /usr/local/bin # by default. This will configure and build all the libraries as well as the assembler, the binutils, and the linker. If you only want to build the binutils and not GDB as well then you can add a configure option to disable GDB. This may help reduce the need for extra libraries to be installed. ie: ./configure --disable-gdb Since the configure script can be quite verbose, you may also like to add the --quiet option to reduce the amount of output. ie: ./configure --quiet If you have GNU make, we recommend building in a different directory: [...] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would this help ?
