4<para><userinput>mkdir ../binutils-build:</userinput> The installation
5instructions for Binutils recommend creating a seperate build directory
6instead of compiling the package inside the source tree. So, we create a
7binutils-build directory and work from there.</para>
8
9<para><userinput>--disable-nls:</userinput> This option disabled
10internationalization (also known as i18n). We don't need this for our
11static programs and nls often causes problems when you're linking
12statically.</para>
13
14<para><userinput>LDFLAGS=-all-static:</userinput> Setting the variable LDFLAGS
15to the value -all-static causes binutils to be linked statically.</para>
16
17<para><userinput>tooldir=$LFS/usr:</userinput> Normally, the tooldir (the
18directory where the executables from binutils end up in) is set to
19$(exec_prefix)/$(target_alias) which expands into, for example,
20/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu. Since we only build for our own system, we don't
21need this target specific directory in $LFS/usr. That setup would be used
22if the system was used to cross-compile (for example
23compiling a package on the Intel machine that generates code that can be
24executed on Apple PowerPC machines).</para>
