objdump and linux

I tried to build a Linux kernel with the latest snapshot.  Ran into
several problems, but one is peripherally related to EGCS.

I installed a recent Binutils because the instructions said that's
needed for egcs.  But that version (970731) has an objdump that no
longer understands the -k switch -- which the 2.7 version does
understand.  The linux kernel build needs that switch.

It's not a good thing for egcs to be dependent on something that
breaks the ability to build kernels...
