Installation question

[Gary Oblock]

A little background. I'm a compiler developer working on
a fairly hairy optimization to run during LTO. After many
months my optimization it's at the point when running
SPEC17 intrate works except for x264_r which dies
during build. On the gcc mailing list Martin Liška looked
at my log and said it seemed to be a "linker" error.
When I provided him with my vendor branch, he got x264_r
to work with my sources. This leads me to believe that
my binutils might be obsolete. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04
with binutils 2.30.

How do I go about installing binutils in my own directory
instead of /usr/local and what do I need to do to get
my compiler under development to use them.

This is my current attempt at an installation script

cd binutils_build
touch build install
rm -rf build install
mkdir build install
cd build
../binutils-2.36/configure
make tooldir=/home/gary/binutils_build/install
make tooldir=/home/gary/binutils_build/install install

Please be detailed with your suggestions because
binutils is something I'm not very familiar with.

Thanks,

Gary Oblock
