Another two things to check are:-
1) Do you have the latest versions of the binary files from Simtel?
2) Do you have the latest dated versions as checked in 1) above? 

If Binutils still fails then try a simpler package to build like Bash
and see if it fails (Find and Grep may need mods to the batch files in
order to build).

Are you running on Win 2K or XP? If yes then you may  need to re-build
some of the required packages if they are not dated this year or get
you could try the bleeding edge 2.04 CVS pacakges available from the
following page when you follow the links. Please read the info
carefully.
