Installation problems binutils-2.18

[wim]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm trying to install binutils-2.18, in my view this
should not pose any problem. However, configure produces
a makefile, that is something but it is not enough.
Make simply gives up.

I'm using SUSE Linux 8.0

I have a directory ~binutils-2.18, the software resides
there and a build directory ~binutils.build.

From this directory I do:

../binutils-2.18/configure

A makefile is producced.

I enclose the following files:

1 Output of make:               make.log.gz
        
2 Logfile of configure:         config.log.gz

3 config.status                 config.status.gz

4 Makefile                      Makefile.gz

Finally info about gcc:


gcc (GCC) 4.2.4

I would be very happy if you could give me a hint how to
proceed. I also hope I'm not overasking you but I do not
know how to carry on.

I hope to receive a reaction from you anyway

Many thanks

Kind regards,

Wim Eijsenga
