First of all, don't do that, use a separate build directory.

That means that there _was_ a 'c++' in your path but it didn't work, I

For the rest, you have checked out src.  You probably only want to
check out the binutils module.  You're probably not interested in sid
(and from that build failure I guess not many people use the copy in
this repository at all).

Not really.
