I cannot actually read that error message.  Do you have your locale set 
to C ?  If not then try changing it to that.

As for the error itself I suspect that it connected with your attempt to 
rollback to the earlier binutils release.  Did you build in a completely 
clean tree ?  (Ie one with no remnants of the 2.20 release).

Cheers
