Of these patches, only 3 have not already been applied, or in one case,
a slightly different patch applied. The three are:
binutils-2.9.5-configure.patch, which I think doesn't actually do anything.
binutils-2.10.91-20010116-libtool.patch, again doesn't do much but may
be necessary for you, I'm not sure
binutils-2.10.91-20010116-ulfc-mips.patch, which is an ABI change.
It's likely that if your existing shared libs or dynamic linker were
built using this patch, then every binary from that point would need
to be built by a binutils with the patch. I suspect this is the
reason you've been having problems.
