The target machine is represented by TARGET_ARCH. MACHINE_ARCH always represents the host machine. When TARGET_ARCH is not defined, it is assumed to be equal to MACHINE_ARCH. This means that we're building a native toolset by default. We're creating cross-compilation tools when MACHINE_ARCH != TARGET_ARCH. TARGET_ARCH is defined when building binutils as part of the bootstrap build and is set to reflect the architecture we're currently cross- building. With this change binutils is ready for cross-building.

Change CROSS_TOOLS to CROSS_ARCH because that makes more sense.

Allow for the case where the host architecture might also be listed in CROSS_ARCH, so don't do things twice. This situation can arise if you want NT support in binutils (CROSS_ARCH=i386 CROSS_FORMAT=winnt).

Add TARGET_ARCH=mipsel and TARGET_ARCH=mipseb as a valid targets.

Unlike the unisex architecutres we've had so far, mips is bisexual. These tools can produce either byte sex, and the compiler/make determines the proper gender to use. Otherwise, we'd have to have had mipsel and mipseb in all the places that we have just mips. And there are other complications with doing that (binutils doesn't like to build mips tools without both byte genders, it seems). Introduced BINUTIL_ARCH so that other bisexual architectures can a generic mechanism. We cannot just define MACHINE_ARCH as mips because we need to differentiate big and little endian types of binaries. Discussions on freebsd-arch have hashed out this issue (and the parallel libc issues). NetBSD is moving towards mipsel and mipseb for their two flavors of mips ports (in time for 1.4, if this change hasn't already been accomplished). I've been building i386 worlds with this tree for a three months with these files in place with no ill effects.

Update for import of binutils-2.9.1.

Add makefile support for cross-architectures. Allow CROSS_TOOLS to

1998-05-04T21:10:56Z

be defined (in /etc/make.conf, say) and set to the additional architectures that need to be compiled in. So on alpha I set CROSS_TOOLS = i386. On i386 you can't build alpha due to lack of 64-bit support on 32-bit architectures, but that's a GNU problem. This change relies on makefiles in the binutils sub-directories having the extension defined in the CROSS_TOOLS, instead of those makefiles being selected based on the host architecture.

Change the include path for bfd.h to libbfd/${MACHINE_ARCH} since

I moved the location of that architecture specific file.
