BFD is an object file library.  It permits applications to use the
2
same routines to process object files regardless of their format.
3
 
4
BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
5
utilities.
6
 
7
The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
8
incorrect.  Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
9
rewritten manual, would be appreciated.
10
 
11
There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
12
help programmers who want to modify BFD.
13
 
14
BFD is normally built as part of another package.  See the build
15
instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
16
appropriate directory.
17
 
18
BFD supports the following configure options:
19
 
20
  --target=TARGET
21
        The default target for which to build the library.  TARGET is
22
        a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
23
  --enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
24
        Additional targets the library should support.  To include
25
        support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
26
  --enable-64-bit-bfd
27
        Include support for 64 bit targets.  This is automatically
28
        turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
29
        for --enable-targets=all.  This requires a compiler with a 64
30
        bit integer type, such as gcc.
31
  --enable-shared
32
        Build BFD as a shared library.
33
  --with-mmap
34
        Use mmap when accessing files.  This is faster on some hosts,
35
        but slower on others.  It may not work on all hosts.
36
 
37
Report bugs with BFD to bug-binutils@gnu.org.
38
 
39
Patches are encouraged.  When sending patches, always send the output
40
of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file.  Do not
41
send default diff output.  Do not make the diff from the new file to
42
the original file.  Remember that any patch must not break other
43
systems.  Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
44
host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
45
acceptable.  Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
46
gcc manual.
47
 
48
Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
49
fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
