Re-Building GCC 3.4.2 bootstraping on GCC 3.2.3, I got this error

Suspecting broken installation for binutils I checked :

$ which ar
/user/sbhatnag/binutilsv2.14/bin/ar
$ ar
ksh: ar: cannot execute

Now built binutils and started building GCC 3.4.2 again after distclean.

$ pwd
/user/sbhatnag/gcc-3.4.2/objdir/gcc/stage1
$ ../genmodes
ksh: ../genmodes: cannot execute

This program is generated by xgcc compiler(which should be from the GCC 
3.2.3 compiler) and I have no clue how to generate this like ar via 
binutils.
