I already commented on Trac. The binutils port is only there to  
provide binutils programs in an Apple gcc environment.

It does not make sense to use MacPorts to install binutils for FSF  
compilers. Chiara should either remove FSF compiler and retry or try  
to compile an FSF-obtained version of binutils.
