-BFD is an object file library. It permits applications to use the
-same routines to process object files regardless of their format.
-
-BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
-utilities.
-
-The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
-incorrect. Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
-rewritten manual, would be appreciated.
-
-There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
-help programmers who want to modify BFD.
-
-BFD is normally built as part of another package. See the build
-instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
-appropriate directory.
-
-BFD supports the following configure options:
-
- --target=TARGET
- The default target for which to build the library. TARGET is
- a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
- --enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
- Additional targets the library should support. To include
- support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
- --enable-64-bit-bfd
- Include support for 64 bit targets. This is automatically
- turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
- for --enable-targets=all. This requires a compiler with a 64
- bit integer type, such as gcc.
- --enable-shared
- Build BFD as a shared library.
- --with-mmap
- Use mmap when accessing files. This is faster on some hosts,
- but slower on others. It may not work on all hosts.
-
-Report bugs with BFD to bug-binutils@gnu.org.
-
-Patches are encouraged. When sending patches, always send the output
-of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file. Do not
-send default diff output. Do not make the diff from the new file to
-the original file. Remember that any patch must not break other
-systems. Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
-host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
-acceptable. Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
-gcc manual.
-
-Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
-fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
