In that case you should run the failing gcc command with the -v option
and verify that it is running the assembler that you expect it to run.

I don't see how you could get those errors from binutils 2.21.

Note that as I mentioned earlier combined builds using standard releases
are hard to get right.  Subtle errors are possible, though I would not
expect this sort of problem.  I personally do not recommend doing a
combined build with anything except a check out of the development
sources.
