You shouldn't install the ELF binutils in /usr at this stage, otherwise (as
you have just discovered) your compilation environment will be hosed. What
you need to do is revert to the old a.out binutils from a binary distribution
and then install the new tools in a different location. Once you have
bootstrapped far enough that you can actually build and run ELF binaries (for
this you need binutils, egcs and glibc to all work) it will be safe to
overwrite the old a.out tools, but until then you need to preserve them.
I believe Chris Rutter mentions this in his toolchain guide.

No, this is nothing to do with the kernel.
