It also allows you to manage multiple cross-compiling +targets simultaneously. + +Remember, you may have one version of binutils active per \fICTARGET\fR, +and changing the version for one target has no bearing on any other. So +changing an active cross-compiler will not break your native compiler +(i.e. \fICHOST\fR). +.SH "SYNOPSIS" +\fBbinutils-config\fR [\fIcrufty options\fR] \fIPROFILE\fR + +\fBbinutils-config\fR \fB--get-current-profile\fR \fI[TARGET]\fR + +\fBbinutils-config\fR \fB--list-profiles\fR + +\fBbinutils-config\fR \fB--uninstall\fR \fITARGET\fR +.SH "GENERIC OPTIONS" +.TP +\fBPROFILE\fR +Change the system to use the specified binutils version. This may take the +form of the list index number (the number shown on the left in the +\fB\-\-list\-profiles\fR output), a full \fITARGET-VERSION\fR (useful when +working with cross-compilers), just a \fITARGET\fR where the \fIVERSION\fR +is picked from the active, or just a binutils \fIVERSION\fR where the +\fITARGET\fR is assumed to be the native \fIHOST\fR value. +.TP +\fBTARGET\fR +Similiar to \fBPROFILE\fR, but this is only the target and no version info +(i.e. \fICTARGET\fR or \fICHOST\fR). +.TP +\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-get\-current\-profile\fR \fI[TARGET]\fR +Display the active profile for \fITARGET\fR. If none is specified, the +host system's \fITARGET\fR will be shown (i.e. \fICHOST\fR). +.TP +\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-list\-profiles\fR +Show all the profiles that your system currently has installed and what +versions are active. The active native version is noted with a bright green +asterisk while the active cross-compiler versions are noted with a light blue +asterisk. +.TP +\fB-u\fR, \fB\-\-uninstall\fR \fITARGET\fR +This is really for internal use only.
