Thanks for the report. This looks like an oversight after the recent re-packaging of the old binutils tarballs to include files originally not distributed in them. All other versions have been re-uploaded, it's just 2.21 that appears to be missing. I've reported this upstream. For the time being though, I suggest you follow the advice on http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter03/introduction.html, which advises that this can happen and that other websites may well have the tarball you need.
Note that for the stable version of the book, you need binutils-2.21.tar.bz2 (or binutils-2.21a.tar.bz2 when it is released), not binutils-2.21.1a.tar.bz2. I'd imagine 2.21.1a would work just fine, but it hasn't been tested in conjunction with the other package versions on the stable version of the book.
Thanks,
Matt.
