NewB: building binutils-cvs

[Russell Shaw <rjshaw at iprimus dot com dot au>]

Hi,
I tried to build cvs binutils on debian. In ~/SRC, i got binutils with:

  cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co binutils

I then ran ~/SRC/src/binutils/configure in a new directory
(~/SRC/myavrbinutils):

  $~/SRC/myavrbinutils: ../src/binutils/configure

Then i ran: $~/SRC/myavrbinutils: make

I got a bfd error:

  make  all-recursive
  make[1]: Entering directory `/home/russell/SRC/myavrbinutils'
  Making all in doc
  make[2]: Entering directory `/home/russell/SRC/myavrbinutils/doc'
  if test -f cxxfilt.man; then \
    man=cxxfilt.man; \
  else \

  fi; \
  sed -e 's/@PROGRAM@/c++filt/' \
      -e 's/cxxfilt/c++filt/' < $man \
          > c++filt.1

The cvs download has src/bfd, which i assume needs to be built, but
it has no configure or makefile. How do i build it?
