This repo is a build wrapper to build binutils for various architectures.

It uses a Makefile and a helper script (makegen) to build all of the binutils binaries in the toolchain required to build and test romforth.

Running make after cloning git clone https://github.com/romforth/build-binutils will build all of the binutils binaries required by romforth - specifically, the binutils build is done for each architecture listed in the file list.

When you run make all that it does is:

1. Fetch a vendored snapshot of the binutils source
2. Run configure with the right set of arguments for each architecture in list
3. Run make
4. Run make install

After a successful make, you can choose to use the binutils build products either directly from this directory itself or move it to some other place, (for example, a toolchain directory) and use it from there.
