I had installed the 2.17 binutils. I wonder why it is still looking at 2.14? Did I do something wrong?
Unless you wipe out your original binutils by installing the new one
configured (typically) with --prefix=/usr, you must fiddle with your
PATH setting so the new one is found first, when you want it, and the
old one is first, when you want that. On some of my installations, the
default PATH has /usr/local/bin (typical default when you build from
source without --prefix) first when on a local console, but not when on
telnet.
