binutils-2.24 fails to build on PPC Tiger because of "multiple definitions of symbol _filename_cmp"

The build fails quite early:

It seems isl-0.12 was missing, which could not be built because of faulty checksums in its Portfile. After correcting them isl built and the binutils then built as well.
