The Binutils package contains a linker, an assembler, and other tools for handling object files.
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-2.24/configure \
--prefix=/tools --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
--target=${CLFS_TARGET} --with-lib-path=/tools/lib --disable-nls \
--enable-shared --enable-64-bit-bfd --disable-multilib
The meaning of the new configure option:
--enable-shared
When this is specified, Binutils will create a shared
libbfd and link its programs to
it.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
