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.
