Including your build information on bug reports is essential, including
the OS, cvs branch (HEAD or STABLE), your glibc version (output from
`/lib/libc.so.6 | head -1` would work), and the gcc that you're using to
build.

It looks as if the binutils is still using the host's build gcc on your
box:

 checking whether the C compiler (gcc -Os
 -I//tmp/build/staging/singularity/image//include
 -L//tmp/build/staging/singularity/image//lib
 -I//tmp/build/staging/singularity/image//lib/gcc-lib/i386-lnxbbc-linux/3.2.3/include
 -I//tmp/build/lib/gcc-lib/i386-lnxbbc-linux/3.2.3/include
 -L//tmp/build/staging/singularity/image//lib/gcc-lib/i386-lnxbbc-linux/3.2.3
 -L//tmp/build/lib/gcc-lib/i386-lnxbbc-linux/3.2.3 ) works... no

This should be the build compiler, although the CFLAGS seem to have stuck.

Try adding this to the Makefile for binutils:

CONFIGURE_ENV = CC=$(CC) CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)"
BUILD_ENV = CC=$(CC) CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)"

  cd back into gar/meta/lnx-bbc
  issue make -C ../../utils/binutils clean
  then resume, with make build
