The for sure don't look like GNU binutils (which ld say something like
GNU ld version 2.11.90.0.8 (with BFD 2.11.90.0.8)

I'm not sure anout binutils and make, but if they behave like gcc yuo 
should have made a "make install" after "make".
If so, add the directory where you installed those BEFORE the directory 
where the HP are in your PATH and configure gcc with
.../configure ... -with-gnu-as -with-gnu-ld

Or, if you just want to use the GNU binutils for compiling gcc, you can 
configure it with
.../configure ... -with-gnu-as="full path to gnu as"/as -with-gnu-ld="full 
path to wgnu ld"/ld

I'm not sure if deleting it all is necessary - maybe "make clean" is enough 
- but it sure won't harm. So, my advice is, use a new direcotry and 
configure/make from scratch.
