  That's not what he meant!  (As I see you've discovered!)  He meant that
binutils now uses -Werror, so any old warnings that it used to give on your
target will now be errors that break the build.

  However I think that's a red herring.  The warnings at the end of your
first post aren't what broke the build; those command lines don't have
-Werror on them.  The build failed because of the earlier failure of bfd to
build.

elf.c:8171: syntax error at end of input
elf.c:48: warning: `elfcore_read_notes' used but never defined

  I reckon your patch failed to apply cleanly to the newer version of elf.c
in binutils 2.16, and it's left it with some syntactically-invalid lines of
code, possily a missing brace or bracket somewhere, perhaps more serious.
You're going to have to look at the before and after and compare that to the
patch, see what went wrong.
