First I did it for lib and bin in usr, sbin, usr.bin, usr.sbin. All 
executed without errors.

Then I got back into

/usr/src/external/gpl3/binutils

and modified your suggestion with the following:
for i in lib usr.bin usr.sbin; do (cd $i && make cleandir && make obj & 
make dependall USETOOLS=never && make install); done

Finally it executed without errors.

At this point, i tried to update my distribution, but it still fails:

checking that C++ static constructors and destructors are called... no
configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required

What can I do? rebuild my compiler, how?
May I suppose I can run:

make cleandir && make obj & make dependall USETOOLS=never && make 
install in  external/gplv3/gcc ?
