How to downgrade binytils?

["Stan Brown" <stanb@awod.com>]

I'v got a woody system that I'm trying to install Oracle 9i on. It's my
understnading that I have to downgrade the binutils package to get back to
an earlier version of libc to prevent the Oracle installer from core
dumpoing.

How can I do this safely?
