- <para><userinput>--disable-nls:</userinput> This option disabled
- internationalization (also known as i18n). We don't need this for our
- static programs and nls often causes problems when you're linking
- statically.</para>
- <para><userinput>LDFLAGS=-all-static:</userinput> Setting the variable LDFLAGS
- to the value -all-static causes binutils to be linked statically.</para>
- <para><userinput>tooldir=$LFS/usr:</userinput> Normally, the tooldir (the
- directory where the executables from binutils end up in) is set to
- $(exec_prefix)/$(target_alias) which expands into, for example,
- /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu. Since we only build for our own system, we don't
- need this target specific directory in $LFS/usr. That setup would be used
- if the system was used to cross-compile (for example
- compiling a package on the Intel machine that generates code that can be
- executed on Apple PowerPC machines).</para>
