   8 Description:
   9 This directory contains i386 and amd64 binaries of the binutils tools
  10 (including gold linker).
  11
  12 They were built from binutils-2.24 using the "build-all.sh" script on a Ubuntu
  13 Precise.
  14
  15 The script creates chroots for 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu Lucid and then builds
  16 binutils inside the roots.
