It means that, due to bugs in older versions of binutils, it is not as
simple as it ought to be to upgrade from 2.7.0.2 (shipped with RH4.x)
to 2.8.1.x.

The best solution is to upgrade to RH 5.0.  If it is absolutely required
that the machine stay at RH 4.2, I may be able to provide replacement RPMs.

You don't.  You have to be root to upgrade.
