Well, I'm glad to see that !

Note that one of the best benefits of the RPM packages is that they can 
be cleanly uninstalled.

Binutils 2.18 can be uninstalled using the following command :
rpm -e binutils --nodeps

Then the latest official binutils can be downloaded
http://www.atariforge.net/sparemint/RPMS/m68kmint/binutils-2.13.2.1-2.m68kmint.rpm
and installed again:
rpm -i binutils-2.13.2.1-2.m68kmint.rpm

So testing a RPM package, even not clean, is harmless !

Note, Jean-François: you reported that with the last MiKRO packages:

Do you experience the same thing with your current setup ?
Actually GCC 2.95 + binutils 2.18
