change to:

  3)  setenv DESTDIR /../../.
      # Need to compensate for "/emul/aout" (two directories deep)
      setenv OBJECT_FMT ELF

change to:

  7)  cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin
      for i in binutils/common binutils/* gas.new ld.new egcs/common egcs/* ; do
          (cd $i ; make cleandir ; make depend ; make ; \

It blew up on me.  I think I corrupted my crt and/or ld, so I'm now ftp'ng
down the binaries.  bleh.  (trying to upgrade from straight 1.4 to
-current/ELF)
