Hi Kaushal, > I already have GDB 8.0.1 installed using that flow. But when I try to install > GNU binutils using the same flow, it fails because these files are the exact > same between the two installations:

This is a tricky one since the binutils and gdb share some files, as you have seen, but they have different release cadences, so the files in one package may not match those in the other package. My suggestion for resolving this problem is as follows: * If the two versions of the file are the same, use the first version. * For files in the include/ directory, use the most recent version. * For files in the lib/ and share/ directories, use the versions from the binutils package.
