I have installed binutils 2.23 and add to PATH but when configure
glibc 2.10.1, it tells me ld is too old
I read the INSTALL it's recommended gcc and bintuils is 3.4 and 2.15.
my gcc is old but it says bad binutils
$ ld -V
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.23
Supported emulations:
elf_x86_64
elf32_x86_64
elf_i386
i386linux
elf_l1om
elf_k1om
