Not sure if I did anything wrong here.

I tried to install it into my home account as superuser via the following
configure script.

../configure --prefix=/root --enable-64-bit-bfd --enable-gold=no
--enable-plugins --enable-shared --disable-nls --disable-werror

GCC version is 8.2.0 and the other tools should be quite up to date.

PS: Is this in any way related to the rust language? Anyway, I will try a git
clone without
gdb; may be easier, but I report the above error line in regards to POSIX Yacc
either way as it may perhaps be useful. Could also be related to elfutils, but
I think it would be very helpful if, in any way, the error message or indicator
message could be more verbose. Googling for this error right now led to only
marginal results that did not help a lot (possibly also because only quite few
people may be using git clone, compared to those who just use the latest stable
binutils variants).

PSS: May also be helpful to show the git clone command for just checking out
binutils but without gdb. 

I did:

git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils.git    

but I am no git expert so I have no idea if that just works; may be helpful to
affirm that this works on the webpage for binutils mentioned above (well, this
one https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ ).
