I had to create a separate folder, which in my case I used your advice and did /usr/local/build-binutils. I also found out that the reason for my earlier problems with the make file complaining about carriage returns was because I used WinZip to expand the binutils-2.21.tar.bz file and not tar. Creating a separate folder and doing make failed with the process saying that some folder was already configured. Obviously, working in the same folder corrupted things, so I decided to start off clean. I deleted my source folder and used tar to create and expand things into the /usr/local/binutils-2.21 folder. I got a complaint during the tar process about unable to set 501 permission on files, but I ignored those. I then went to the newly created build-binutils folder and did the tree steps (configure line, make, make install) and everything completed with no errors or warnings. My problem was as you said. I built from the source folder rather than a new folder. I learnt something new. Thank you Chuck!
