You have to go into binutl-2.7\opcodes and binutl-2.7\bfd first, and
execute 'make' there, to build those two libraries. 'as' and 'ld',
like the other binutils, operate by use of the BFD library. The
makefile setup of the older ports wasn't clean enough to automatically
jump into those directories and build them for you, if you start the
'make' in 'gas' or 'ld', instead of the root directory of the source
tree.

OTOH: why would you want to do such a thing? Why do you think you need
versions 2.7 of gas or ld?
