The Binutils package contains a linker, an assembler, and other tools for handling object files.
To make sure that the proper syntax is used for a couple of tools, apply the following patch:
patch -Np1 -i ../binutils-2.17-posix-1.patch
The Binutils documentation recommends building Binutils outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory:
mkdir -v ../binutils-build cd ../binutils-build
Prepare Binutils for compilation:
../binutils-2.17/configure --prefix=/tools \
--build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} --target=${CLFS_TARGET} \
--disable-nls --enable-shared --disable-multilib
Compile the package:
make configure-host make
Install the package:
make install
