It seems like the configure script is not working.
Did you check whether it is executeable or not? ( chmod +x )
Is it in the directory ../binutils-2.12/ ?
Why are you installing a system wide libary with sudo and not as root user?

Ill have to check on the permissions. I'm installing with sudo because I use Ubuntu so there is no root login.
Couple of options I can think of on Ubuntu:
1) sudo su -
You now have a root shell to do the install
or:
2) add a "wheel" group to /etc/group and add your user id to it
in /etc/pam.d/su uncomment "auth sufficient pam_wheel.so trust"
You can now su without using sudo and without specifying any
password so long as you are a member of the wheel group
