First, please update to the latest version of Xcode, which is 3.1.3  
for Leopard.

After you install that, clean the failing port -- for example, in  
this case:

sudo port clean mipsel-linux-binutils

Then try installing again, but with the debug flag:

sudo port -d install mipsel-linux-binutils 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/ 
output.txt

Then, if you still get the error, please send the file output.txt  
from your desktop to the list so we can have a look.
