I see.  Well, you can always build and install a newer binutils;
that's not painful, and might get you past the problem.
(If you post the error message, we might be able to help.)

But I agree that doing a fresh install of e.g. Red Hat 9 is
nicer than keeping an old system alive by little patches
(unless you're going for an uptime record).
