Re-Building GCC 3.4.2 bootstraping on GCC 3.2.3, I got this error

Suspecting broken installation for binutils I checked :
$ which ar
/user/sbhatnag/binutilsv2.14/bin/ar
$ ar
ksh: ar: cannot execute
Now built binutils and started building GCC 3.4.2 again after distclean.

This program is generated by xgcc compiler(which should be from the GCC
3.2.3 compiler) and I have no clue how to generate this like ar via
binutils.
