Macports installing binutils

Question

I'm trying to install gnu ld, via macports, on Lion. I have already installed gcc 4.6 from macports. However I need to create elf binary form a binary file, which I posted as seperate question here

I installed binutils from macports, it seems as though everything went fine, however I did get the following message at the end:

Warning: binutils installs files outside the common directory structure.
--->  Installing binutils @2.21_0
--->  Activating binutils @2.21_0

Having binutils installed will cause some other ports to fail to build. Consider uninstalling binutils.

--->  Cleaning binutils

Looking at the list of tools that should in the binutils packages from here I'm struggling to find any of them in the normal macports install location of /opt/local/bin

Anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

According to this it appears as though there is no way to get gnu ld on darwin.
