No, that's exactly what you should NOT do: you are attempting to build
inside the same folder where the source is.
You need to create a DIFFERENT (really empty, as opposed to full of a
bunch of source files) folder, say:
/usr/local/build-binutils/
and do this:
$ cd /usr/local/build-binutils/
$ /usr/local/binutils-2.21/configure (options)
$ make
