Mmm. I've looked at the script for binutils and it seems as though
that's still for a cross compilation environment and not native build.

Did you compile binutils natively using the old gcc 2.95.3 compiler ?

In the previous binutils patch you'll notice the "COMPILE_IN" code which
doesn't exist in your patch. Also the file m68kmint.sc is missing in
yours.

Let me know if you want me to generate a new binutils patch.
