I don't think this could be a binutils problem, as cpp is a part of gcc.
Anyway, t osee if the binutils your are using are one you installed, you 
could make
ld -V
and see what the answer is.
GNU ld should tell what version it is along with the supporte targets it 
has been built for.

I was wondering - did you installed gmake and the binutils befor 
configuring gcc, right ?
You might want to re-configure (in the same place, with the same options) 
just to grab the output. I should mention what ersion of the various tools 
will be used to build gcc.
