Hi John,

   Suddenly i have a doubt. why do we need binutils in the first place.
   Linux comes with a set of utilities like compiler, linker, ar, asm.
   Why do we need binutils ?.

Because it is the binutils project which has provided the linker, ar, asm etc. (The gcc project has provided the compiler).

Cheers
  Nick
