- <title>Re-installation of Binutils</title>
 
- <note><para>It's worth pointing out that the Binutils test suite we run in this
 
- section is considered not as important as the one we run in Chapter 6.</para>
 
- </note>
 
- <para>Create a separate build directory again:</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>mkdir ../binutils-build
 
- cd ../binutils-build</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>Now prepare Binutils to be compiled:</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>../binutils-&binutils-version;/configure --prefix=/tools \
 
-     --enable-shared --with-lib-path=/tools/lib</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>The meaning of the new configure option:</para>
 
- <itemizedlist>
 
- <listitem><para><userinput>--with-lib-path=/tools/lib</userinput>: This tells
 
- the configure script to specify the default library search path. We don't want
 
- the library search path to contain library directories from the host
 
- system.</para></listitem>
 
- </itemizedlist>
 
- <para>Before starting to build Binutils, remember to unset any environment
 
- variables that override the default optimization flags.</para>
 
- <para>Compile the package:</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>make </userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>Test the results (there should be no unexpected failures here, expected
 
- failures are fine):</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>Unfortunately, there is no easy way to view the test results summary like
 
- there was for the previous GCC package. However, if a failure occurs here, it
 
- should be easy to spot. The output shown will contain something like:</para>
 
- <blockquote><screen>make[1]: *** [check-binutils] Error 2</screen></blockquote>
 
- <para>And install the package:</para>                                              
 
- <para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>Now prepare Binutils for the re-adjusting of the toolchain in the next
 
- chapter:</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>make -C ld clean
 
- make -C ld LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <warning><para>Do not yet remove the Binutils source and build directories.
 
- We'll need these directories again in the next chapter in the state they are in
 
- now.</para></warning>
