I'm trying to learn more about the toolchain. I've found guides for
building a toolchain, and I sometimes see options like --with-sysroot,
but I am having trouble finding information on the options for
configuring and compiling binutils. Where can I find this information?
After unpacking binutils and changing to the unpacked directory, you
could try:
./configure --help
This should provide you with a list of general and specific options for
any package (binutils and others).
Also, if you don't have a scrolling feature in the console you are
using, you can use:
./configure --help | less
The less portion will allow you to page up/down and read the specific
options at your leisure. You can also:
./configure --help > afile.txt where afile is any name you would like to
use. This will allow you to use your favorite text editor to see the
varous options.
