How did you update your binutils? It sounds like you installed a second copy rather than updating them, and that the path they're in happens to come first in your PATH when you're logged in as a user, and not as root... If that's the case, then to build as root, you would need to place the directory that your new binutils are in at the beginning of you PATH before trying to build.
