   I'm getting this error when I try to build binutils-2.9.5.0.12 with gcc-2.95.1

This sounds more like a compiler problem than a binutils problem.  On
the other hand, since you are using an UltraSPARC, it is quite
possible that you need some UltraSPARC support added since the 2.9.1
release.

To check that, run the above command with the --save-temps option, and
take a look at the resulting assembler file.  Send it in here if you
want to, or better yet just send the lines that the assembler is
complaining about.

Even though you are compiling the binutils code itself, it's much
easier for you to send a test case than it is for us to try to
duplicate your compiler.
