| Description: |
| This directory contains i386 and amd64 binaries of the binutils tools |
| (including gold linker). |
| |
| They were built from binutils-2.25 using the "build-all.sh" script on a Ubuntu |
| Precise. |
| |
| The script creates chroots for 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu Precise and then builds |
| binutils inside the roots. |
| |
| Version 2.25 was released on Wed, 24 Dec 2014 |
