In place updates will only work if you build and install binutils first.
A tools build will work fine, but for a non-tools build you need to
get the newer version of binutils installed first. In fact, am not
sure how you ever got into this state (where crt0.c was assembled with
gas from 2.26 but ld from 2.23).
