These are the GNU binutils. These are utilities of use when dealing
|

with binary files, either object files or executables. These tools
|
||||
consist of the linker (ld), the assembler (gas), and the profiler
|

(gprof) each of which have their own sub-directory named after them.
|

There is also a collection of other binary tools, including the

disassembler (objdump) in this directory. These tools make use of a

pair of libraries (bfd and opcodes) and a common set of header files

This will configure and build all the libraries as well as the

assembler, the binutils, and the linker.

|

Note - if you have obtained the sources by checking out a copy from
|
||||
the git repository then you will have both the binutils and GDB
|
||||
sources in one place. In this case you may wish to add an option to
|
||||
the configure command line to stop it from configuring GDB. This will
|
||||
also stop the configure script from checking the libraries that are
|
||||
needed by GDB, but not by the binutils.
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --disable-gdb
|
||||
|
||||
Since the configure script can be quite verbose, you may also
|
||||
want to add the --quiet option to reduce the amount of output. ie:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --quiet
|

|
||||
If you have GNU make, we recommend building in a different directory:
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir objdir
