Or simply configure+make+install binutils to some location $PREFIX and then configure+make+install GCC to the same place, --with-prefix=$PREFIX. If there's a binutils already installed at its $PREFIX then GCC will use it automatically. Again, "It may be necessary to configure with --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld to guarantee use of Sun ld."
