As per guidance, I have tried the following method
[root@localhost UML]# rpm -i --prefix
/mnt/cdrom/usr/local binutils-2.13.90.0.18-9.i386.rpm
error: package binutils is not relocateable

Any suggestions ? I am using Red Hat 8.0. Is there
filesystem which has all these utilities installed ?

Thanks & Regards
Dinesh
