What this does is build gcc 4.8 with base gcc and stop. Normal gcc builds bootstrap themselves over a couple of stages, thus providing some assurance that the new compiler is actually working well enough to build itself. I suspect once you try to compile something with this 4.8, it will blow up in binutils with just the same error.
