Unlike the gcc packages the binutils package doesn't seem to include
files name <triplet>-<tool> in the native version.

My guess would be that whatever kernel configuration you are using is
set up for cross-compilation rather than native compilation and you need
to remove some kind of cross tool prefix setting from it (I don't
remember the exact name offhand) to make it suitable for native
compilation.
