There is no need to use binutils on this platform. You can use Sun's

The former won't work to a (size) limitation in Sun as, the latter does
not work as you also must build the libraries with these flags.

Set
  int flag_do_squangling=1;
in gcc/cp/decl2.c *before* bootstrapping GCC and everything will be
fine.
