Installing binutils on HPUX 10.20

[Ingram, Charles D.]

There is a problem listed at:
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/help-gnu-utils/2002-August/002736.html
which is the same problem I am having.  However, I cannot find any replies
with possible solutions to the problem.

I am trying to build binutils 2.7.  After the ./configure, I run make and
receive the following errors:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I use a non-gnu make and compiler, it will build, but I understand that
it is better to use gnu
products to build other gnu products.  I use GNUmake 3.75 and gcc 2.7.2 and
receive the
errors above.
