When I tried to compile binutils-2.15 at Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. One error appeared:

./gas/config/tc-i386.h:457:32: error: array type has incomplete element type
extern const struct relax_type md_relax_table[];

Modify line 451 in gas/config/tc-i386.h :

extern const struct relax_type md_relax_table[];
=>
extern const struct relax_type * md_relax_table;

Modify Line 366 in gas/config/tc-i386.c:

const relax_typeS md_relax_table[] =
=>
const struct relax_type *md_relax_table =

Patch as follows:
