No, you don't need to install a newer version of binutils. Just give
RPM the "--replacefiles" flag. Both egcs and binutils come with the
same version of c++filt. Since these files are identical, using
"--replacefiles" is OK. Try the following:
$ rpm --replacefiles -Uvh ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/langston/egcs/egcs-c++-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm
