- Subject: Building binutils "bootstrap"-wise
I would like to discuss the idea of building the binutils suite using
a "bootstrap" approach similar to gcc's.
The idea is to reduce the impact that the system-installed binutils
has on the to-build binutils executables and friends and thus its test
results.
However, this means longer compilation time to build the binutils
suite.
Comments anyone?
Cheers,
