    <title>Re-installation of Binutils</title>

    <para>Binutils does not recognize versions of Texinfo newer than 4.9.  Fix
    this issue by applying the following patch:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&binutils-configure-patch;</userinput></screen>

    <para>Create a separate build directory again:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">mkdir -v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build</userinput></screen>

    <para>Prepare Binutils for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="configure">../binutils-&binutils-version;/configure --prefix=/tools \
    --disable-nls --with-lib-path=/tools/lib</userinput></screen>

    <variablelist>
      <title>The meaning of the new configure options:</title>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>--with-lib-path=/tools/lib</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>This tells the configure script to specify the library
          search path during the compilation of Binutils, resulting in
          <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename> being passed
          to the linker. This prevents the linker from searching through
          library directories on the host.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

    </variablelist>

    <para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>

    <para>Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the
    test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this
    chapter. To run the Binutils test suite anyway, issue the following
    command:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="test">make check</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now prepare the linker for the <quote>Re-adjusting</quote> phase in
    the next chapter:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="adjust">make -C ld clean
make -C ld LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib
cp -v ld/ld-new /tools/bin</userinput></screen>
