binutils-multiarch in view of dpkg-cross/README.Debian.gz?
|

| On one hand, dpkg-cross/README.Debian.gz says the following:
for most other binutils, it is convenient to have them
multi-architectural. Just type size, objdump, or whatever you like,
without caring about the architecture... But in two cases, this
luxury isn't possible: 'as' and 'ar' have to built singly for the
target architecture.
On the other hand, binutils-multiarch installs
addr2line ar gprof nm objcopy objdump ranlib readelf size strings strip
Is there a relation between the files that dpkg-cross/README.Debian.gz
mentions and the one that binutils-multiarch install? What about as and ar?

If you need cross-compiling, you have to install cross binutils for your
target. Some are available at http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/~nikita/debian/
If you only need no manipulate non-native binaries (strip/objdump/etc),
binutila-multiarch will work for you.
Anyway dpkg-cross/README.Debian.gz is outdated and will be rewritten soon.
E.g. it does not mention out last effort to make cross toolchain using
debian source gcc and binutils packages, which is the recommended way to do
it today.

Thank you. The updated README might mention `Setting up a Cross
Development Environment on Debian GNU/Linux' from
http://people.debian.org/~debacle/cross.html. I have came across it a
short while ago. One thing that I find missing there is a list of names
of the platforms that can be used as target platforms. Only after
debuild -uc -us
failed I realized that I should have used tpkg-make powerpc-linux.
