No, you don't need to install a newer version of binutils.  Just give
RPM the "--replacefiles" flag.  Both egcs and binutils come with the
same version of c++filt.  Since these files are identical, using
"--replacefiles" is OK.  Try the following:

  $ rpm --replacefiles -Uvh ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/langston/egcs/egcs-c++-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm
