Install binutils. Or what do you want to hear?
buildd@aahz:~>wajig policy binutils
binutils:
Installed: 2.15-6
Candidate: 2.15-6
Version Table:
*** 2.15-6 0
500 http://debian stable/main Packages
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org stable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
You probably want to install gcc, which depends on gcc-3.3. gcc-2.95 is
nice, but a little outdated, gcc-3.4 might have more problems on m68k than
you want, gcc-3.3 was the default compiler for sarge. If you upgrade your
system to etch (Debian 4.0), you will get gcc-4.1, which works pretty well
on m68k by now. If you install the build-essential package, you will get the
default C compiler for the Debian distribution you installed, plus
libc6-dev, bintutils, make, and a few other packages that do not hurt to
have installed. Depending on what you want to compile, you will need more
packages installed.
I don't remember which packages are on which CD, but your problem might be,
that you only have the first CD and the compiler is not on this CD. So you
either need some more CDs or download the packages from the internet, which
only requires a: "apt-get install build-essential" as root. If you decide to
use more CDs, use apt-cdrom.
