The binutils configure script is not designed to be run in the source 
directory.  Please try creating a build directory and then running the 
configure script whilst cd'ed into that directory.

The configure script will look for these programs in your execution 
path, which is contained in the PATH environment variable.  Therefore 
you need to make sure that this variable has been initialised before 
running configure, and that it includes the directory where working 
copies of these programs can be found.
