gtk+-2.0.7 compilation dies: ld barfs on libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.ver

[Jeremy Henty <jeremy chaos org uk>]

I think a problem like this has already been mentioned here, but I
searched the mailing list archives and found nothing.

Compiling gtk+-2.0.7 falls over with the message: 
/usr/bin/ld:.libs/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.ver:1: parse error in VERSION script

I am running Linux 2.2.20, Red Hat 6.2, XFree86-3.3.6-20 on an AMD K6.
My binutils is binutils-2.9.5.0.22-6 , which is not of the freshest,
so maybe I should upgrade?  If not, I'm stumped.  (glib-2.0.7,
atk-1.0.3 and pango-1.0.5 all compiled without problems, BTW.)

I have looked at the .exp and .ver files and can't see anything
obviously broken.  I am attaching those files and a log of the make.
If you need any more information to help me I'll be glad to supply it.

Hope you can help,
