GCC 4.9.2 w/binutils 2.24 compile error

[Uri Moszkowicz <uri at 4refs dot com>]

Hi,
I'm trying to build GCC 4.9.2 with binutils 2.24. I untarred GCC, ran
contrib/download_prerequisites, untarred binutils, and then linked
without overwriting all items from binutils into the GCC root
directory. I then ran configure and make from a directory parallel to
GCC as the directions state (I've also built GCC before). I also tried
with GCC 4.9.1 on SUSE10 and RHEL5 and got the same error, shown
below. I found a thread from Google suggesting that this error had
been fixed a while ago but clearly not. Any suggestions for how to
work around this problem?

Thanks,
Uri
