If you install the latest GCC (4.2.3), it has the current binutils as part of the depot.

gcc-4.2.3

Are you using the depot files from the HPUX Porting Centre? It doesn't sound like it.
The default ld for HPUX will not link against the GNU run-time.

Hi

 Im not using depot files from HP-UX, since we are in developing cross compilation enviorment , we need to build gcc compiler\( binutils is need for this\)..........Im putting the binaries indifferent path

In my younger age, I was told by a unix guru (at the time I tried to install slackware linux 099.p118):
TO install gnu utils correctly, you start by
Bison
then gcc
then ncurses
binutils
flex
perl

to avoid dependencies problems...

Dont know if its stll true
