Comment (by Sebastian Huber):

 It is not just the Binutils that make problems. There are at least five
 issues in case a tool chain is already present.

 1. The build uses the existing Binutils instead of the ones built right
 now.
 2. Some header and other files of the existing installation may be used
 instead of the one from the current sources.
 3. The installation adds only files, it does not remove obsolete files
 leaving a mixture of old and new files in the prefix.
 4. The Ada installation stops with permission errors.
 5. In case something goes wrong it is not easy to figure out that the
 reason is an existing installation that interfered.
