what conflicts are you seeing ? if they are just in configure files then you
need to autoteconf them manually one by one using the appropriate version of auototools as recommended
for bintutils 2.25 usually gcc/binutils don’t use latest auto tools.

but if they are reporting changes in other files then its a different problem needs to be looked at.
