If you built this kernel yourself, you need to do it from a system with

Note to the linux-ppc guys; is there any changelog entry which reports
this requirement somewhere? I didn't find one...
Thanks, this is likely the problem. The distribution is Debian stable
with all security udates but the binutils are still 2.17.
That's generally the problem we had with SuSE 10.3. Debian stable
should be updated by Christmas.. :D
Trying to add Lenny source does not help, bummer. Aptitude fails
with an error message like "Dynamic MMap ran out of room".
Ouch. Well, all I can recommend is grabbing the source files from;
http://packages.debian.org/source/testing/binutils
And compiling and installing it manually. There is a bit of a
disparity between glibc support between testing and stable that
the prebuild packages will complain about (you have to install
half of Lenny to do it, which is a bad idea just to update one
package).
Once you have the files you can just use "dpkg -x binutils-blah.dsc"
to get going.
