Hi Peter,

This error indicates that the linker that you are running (ld-new) has
not been configured to support the elf_x86_64 target.  (Note: this linker
is different from the system linker, which is why "ld -V" listed elf_x86_64 
as a supported target).

You should check how you configured the linker that you built in the <binutils>
directory.  If necessary you may need to add --enable-targets=x86_64-pc-linuxgnu
to the configure command line.

Cheers
  Nick
