           Summary: Review Request: cross-binutils - Multiple cross-build
                    binutils
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium

Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cross/cross-binutils.spec
SRPM URL:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cross/cross-binutils-2.22-1.fc16.src.rpm
Description:

I've taken the Fedora 16 binutils specfile and modified it greatly so that it
builds a cross-build binutils for each of the Linux kernel arches (barring
cris, which doesn't build, and unicore, which doesn't seem to exist) and
packages each one up in its own binary RPM (named binutils-<arch>-linux-gnu).

The packages are configures with "--program-prefix=<arch>-linux-gnu-".  Note
that the name passed to "--target" may not match the program prefix.

For example, binutils-parisc-linux-gnu contains, amongst other things,
parisc-linux-gnu-ar, and was build for target hppa-linux.

As the manual pages and help files for each instance of the assembler, linker,
objdump, objcopy, etc. are exactly the same, these are emitted into the core
binary RPM and symlinked from the arch RPMs to save installation space and a
dependency is emplaced.

I would appreciate a review so that I can get this into Fedora Extra.

Many thanks,
David
