Hi everyone,
Have run into difficulty trying to install binutils at the start of LFS chapter
5. I spent the last two days slowly re-reading up to chapter five, googling
around, and correcting any mistakes I found, but to no avail. I found plenty
online close to describing my specific symptoms, but nothing that exactly
addressed it, or enabled me to figure the problem out.
First here is the terminal output where I encounter the problem:

Here is the output of version-check.sh. Hopefully I am just including this for
reference/to show everything is ok in this regard...

Finally, here is the config.log mentioned in the terminal. I think I cut and
paste the right bit of it. Overall it was very big and I am not sure of mailing
list etiquette, so tried to just get the relevant bit. I am confident I have
entered any other commands correctly (except that of course I am having this
problem, so...!)

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the book and community -
although I have run into trouble here I think it is going to be of great help
for me.
