Hi,
I tried the top level src/configure last time, but thought it hung
at "creating Makefile". I left it for half a minute or more this
time, and it completed. It was spending 50% cpu time running sed.

I want to build:

   src/binutils/configure --prefix=/usr/local/avr --program-prefix=avr-
                              --disable-nls --target=avr

However, src/configure --help  doesn't show a --disable-nls option. Will
it get passed to the binutils build phase, or should i build the tools
separately?
