Does this mean use an old binary, or some old known working gas source to
build from?  Does this apply to ld as well? 

My recent make builds have used a symlinks to the gas & ld directories in
a 1.3F tree that was supplied with my CATS box.  Should this work?  (It's
seems to work with gcc.) 

Thanks,

David.
