Or simply configure+make+install binutils to some location $PREFIX and
then configure+make+install GCC to the same place,
--with-prefix=$PREFIX. If there's a binutils already installed at its
$PREFIX then GCC will use it automatically.

Again, "It may be necessary to configure with --without-gnu-ld
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld to guarantee use of Sun ld."
