I renamed /usr/local/include/ansidecl.h to 
/usr/local/include/ansidecl.h.save as you indicated. Indeed, binutils now 
compiles as it should:

<snip>
The operation will free 30 MiB.
[1/1] Deinstalling binutils-2.25.1_2,1...
[1/1] Deleting files for binutils-2.25.1_2,1: 100%

===>  Installing for binutils-2.25.1_2,1
===>  Checking if binutils already installed
===>   Registering installation for binutils-2.25.1_2,1
Installing binutils-2.25.1_2,1...

===>>> Re-installation of binutils-2.25.1_2,1 complete
</snip>

So one step further to juvenile this old beast.

I will remove /usr/local/include/ansidecl.h.save.

Thank you for your advice.
