| Description: |
| This directory contains i386 and amd64 binaries of the binutils tools |
| (including gold linker). |
| |
| They were built from binutils-2.28 using the "build-all.sh" script on Debian |
| Testing. |
| |
| The script creates chroots for 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu Xenial and then builds |
| binutils inside the roots. |
| |
| Version 2.28 was released on Thu, 02 Mar 2017 |
| |
| Local patches: |
| |
| * (build-all.sh|build-one.sh|upload.sh) scripts for building the binutils |
| binaries and uploading them to Google storage. |
| |
